Outward Bound Songtext
von Tom Paxton

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 with no ending
Outward bound
Uncharted waters beneath our bow
Far behind
The green familiar shore is fading into time
And time has left us now


So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con dios
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 sail
Outward bound
Along a crooked lonesome trail
The things we learned
We′ll just be satisfied in knowing
And we'll tell it to our kids as a fairy tale

So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con dios
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

So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con dios
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
We could not ask, we could not ask for more
