Wouldn't you love to be out on the rolling sea With only the sky above you for a roof What if your friends were there laugh at all your jokes And share sweet salt air with you wouldn't that be good You know it would Wouldn't you love to find yourself there some time Ducking when the bow swings your way Whenever we make plans you tell me you're a busy man That you'd go but you really should stay Someday soon you'd say Nothing escapes the rolling sea not the past nor you or me You keep the world at bay should it all wash away You wouldn't feel no pain of those who can Gather the pool and few of your closest friends Gonna ride in and swim while the weather's fine Oh it's been such a long time Oh it's been such a long time Oh it's been such a long time
