Intro

- - - - º - Ai -

  Sometimes I wish I was a sailor

 Way out on the stormy sea

Far away from the city

 and all this mise - ry

 And I wish that I could tell you

 Just how much you mean to me

No matter where I run to,

 I'll never lose your memo - ry

 Sometimes I close my eyes and drift away

 I can't forget the things I didn't say

I chose a life that took me a - way from you

 And I will be forever blue

  When you wake up in to - morrow

 And I'm no longer by your side

 Just don't think too much a - bout me

And of the many times you've cried

 And wherever you may wander

 May good fortune be your guide

 Go an' find another lover

One who'll never leave your side

 I can't forget the things I didn't say
