Lyrics to Outward Bound

OUTWARD BOUND

Tom Paxton

Outward bound, upon a ship that sails an 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 our bows.
Far behind,
The green familiar shore is fading into time,
And time has left us none.

So farewell, adieu, so long my cameos.
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 crocked lonesome trail.
Things we learned,
Will just be satisfied in knowing,
And we'll tell it to your kids as a fairy tale.

So farewell, adieu, so long my cameos.
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.
