outward bound

Nana Mouskouri

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


Outward bound
Upon a journey without ending
Outward bound
Uncharted waters beneath are far, far behind
The green familiar shore is fading into time
And time has left us now

*******

So farewell, adieu, so long,voya condios
May they find whatever they are looking for
Remember when the wine was better than ever again
We could not ask
We could not ask for more
*****

Outward bound
Upon a ship with tattered sails
Outward bound
Along a crooked, lonesome trail
Things we learned, will just be satisfied in knowing
And we' ll tell it to our kids as a fairytale

*******

We could not ask, we could not ask for more
