Written & arranged by Phil Dean/CC Thornley

lyrics

Standing aboard looking back to the shore
Stood a sailor down on his luck
Rueing the time when he lost his mind
And then lost the lady he loved
For many long years well he'd sailed far and near
And he'd been drunk in every known port
But his body was tiring, no longer aspiring
To live where the memories would

What I need is a rest, so he thought to himself
Somewhere far away from the sea
Where the grass it is green and the birds they do sing
And there's ale to drink instead of grog
I'll return to my country and hope for some mercy
And there swap the ship for the horse
Cos my soul it is tiring, no longer aspiring
To be all the things it once could

Well I've set me a course and this ship's gonna take me
Exactly where I need to go
I'm leaving these shores behind
And the wind and the waves they will sweep me away
Far from here to where I have come from
I'm leaving these shores behind

His small crew was broken, his ship it had seen better days
But the wind it was good
Free at long last from the chains of the docks
Well she sailed with no trouble for months
Then with home in sight in the first morning light
She was dashed to a wreck on the rocks
As his body lay dying his spirit was flying
As free as the gulls up above

Well I've set me a course and this ship's gonna take me
Exactly where I need to go
I'm leaving these shores behind
