Lyrics
We send ships here, you and me
From the harbour to the sea
Fly the flags high
Wish them goodbye
Off on journeys that we'll never see here
Always be here
By the quay, dear
We let dreams out, line by line
Crossing oceans, steering time
Captured sunrise, bottled blue eyes
Seeing places that we'll never see here
Always be here
By the quay, dear
Drifting oceans away now
Plot a course that is true
Sailing into the sunset
Sail home to you
Your song reached out, touched like rain
Streamers floating, down they came
Made the words rhyme
Pulled them though time
To people that we'd never be here
Never been here
By the quay, dear
Drifting oceans
Course is true
Sailing over the sunset
Sail home to you
