Outward Bound Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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]
So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con Diós
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
[Verse 3]
Outward bound, upon a ship with tattered sail
Outward bound, along 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]
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
[Verse 2]
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]
So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con Diós
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
[Verse 3]
Outward bound, upon a ship with tattered sail
Outward bound, along 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]
