wistfully i wave goodbye
as the ship slips out to sea
i see you standing in the misty cove
look so sad to me
we had our moments
we had our hours
we even had our days
they never had a chance under heaven
still couldn't change our evil ways

so here i am on a ship on the ocean
trying to forget all my tattered emotions
look to the sky and i see that it's blue
kind of reminds me of my love for you

this idea of yours
you must have heard it in a song
it came to you one day on the radio
next thing i know i was gone
you loved me and so you set me free
but i just don't feel that free at all
i feel kind of seasick
i feel very lonely
i guess you could say i have it all

so here i am on a ship on the ocean
trying to forget all my tattered emotions
look to the sea and i sea that its blue
doesnt compare with how deep my love was for you

so here i am on a ship on the ocean
trying to forget all my tattered emotions
look to the sky and i see that its blue
not quite as high as my love was for you
