Outward Bound

(Album: Boat In The Water - 2017)

Outward bound, upon a ship that sails no ocean,
Outward bound, it has no crew but me and you
All alone, when just a minute ago the shore
was filled with people, with people that we knew.

[Chorus:]
So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con Dios.
May they find whatever they are looking for.
Remember when the wine was better than ever before.
We could not ask, we could not ask for more.

Outward bound upon a journey without ending,
Outward bound, uncharted waters beneath our bow.
Far behind, the green familiar shore is fading
into time, and time has left us now.

[Chorus]

Outward bound, upon a ship with tattered sail,
Outward bound upon a crooked, lonesome trail.
Things we learn, we'll just be satisfied in knowing
And we'll tell it to our kids as a fairy tale.

[Chorus]
