I can't help thinkin' as those ships sail away | |
What sirens beckon and call | |
How long at sea this time how long between | |
The ports-of-call, ports-of-call | |
Under the bridge they move to far off lands | |
Maybe Australia or North African sands | |
Complete the mission, supply and demand | |
To ports-of-call, ports-of-call | |
And everyday as the sun is setting | |
Along the bay city lights appear | |
Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising | |
Time is growing near | |
When they'll be casting off anchor as they sail away | |
Into the morning light | |
Rising and falling thru the blue and gray | |
To ports-of-call, ports-of-call | |
And everyday as the sun is setting | |
Along the bay city lights appear | |
Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising | |
Time is growing near | |
And everyday as the sun is setting | |
Along the bay city lights appear | |
Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising | |
Time is growing near | |
I'll take the chance this time to change my world (change my world) | |
And break those ties that bind (ties that bind) | |
Far from those people passing through my life | |
Like ports-of-call, ports-of-call | |
Under the bridge I'll move to far off lands (far off lands) | |
Maybe Australia or North African sands (North African sands) | |
Complete my mission, hope you understand | |
Ports-of-call, ports-of-call | |
Ports-of-call, ports-of-call | |
Ports-of-call, ports-of-call ... |
