I can't help thinkin' as those ships sail away    What sirens beckon and call    How long at sea this time how long between    The ports-of-call, ports-of-call       Under the bridge they move to far off lands    Maybe Australia or North African sands    Complete the mission, supply and demand    To ports-of-call, ports-of-call       And everyday as the sun is setting    Along the bay city lights appear    Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising    Time is growing near       When they'll be casting off anchor as they sail away    Into the morning light    Rising and falling thru the blue and gray    To ports-of-call, ports-of-call       And everyday as the sun is setting    Along the bay city lights appear    Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising    Time is growing near       And everyday as the sun is setting    Along the bay city lights appear    Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising    Time is growing near       I'll take the chance this time to change my world (change my world)    And break those ties that bind (ties that bind)    Far from those people passing through my life    Like ports-of-call, ports-of-call       Under the bridge I'll move to far off lands (far off lands)    Maybe Australia or North African sands (North African sands)    Complete my mission, hope you understand    Ports-of-call, ports-of-call    Ports-of-call, ports-of-call    Ports-of-call, ports-of-call...
