Do you remember how the sun beat from the sky
And how we ran there - who was faster you or I?
We jumped the sea wall, we couldn't wait to be the one
To make the first call and point the way to everyone
Did we stumble, did we fall onto our hands
Running circles round the statues in the sand
Blue horizon, through the furnace of the light
Sails came shining, our hearts exploded at the sight
Here come the tall ships
See the main sails make the driving wind their friend
Bows won't fail, gleaming sheets that have no end
No-one to tame us, every wave is cut to foam
No-one can claim us, this whole wide ocean is our home
We ran like the tall ships
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Here we stand looking up at the same sky
Tricked by time, who's more foolish you or I?
We can't return, there'll be no parting of the sea
What have we learned from all these driftwood memories
Of the
Where are you now? Somewhere on this spinning world
Let your eyelids down, let the warm breeze in your hair
Feel the calm, see the white lines of the shore
Reach out your palm and run with me once more
Won't you run with me once more
Won't you run with me once more?
We'll wave to the tall ships
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
We'll wave to the tall ships now
