Sometimes I wish I was a sailor Way out on the stormy sea Far away from the city and all this misery 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 memory 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 away from you And I will be forever blue When you wake up in tomorrow And I'm no longer by your side Just don't think too much about me And of the many times you've cried And wherever you may wander May good fortune be your guide Go find another lover One who'll never leave your side Sometime I close my eyes and drift away I chose a life that took me away from you And I will be forever blue
