On the docks where the boredom of life   Is all that I own   I see boats coming in with the fruits   Of places unknown      I watch as they come from the world in the sun   And I see in my mind   That there is farewell to this cold golden hell   They can leave far behind      Let me go where they go   Let me fly the winds that they fly   For to stay in this place   Will destroy a man's certain life      Take me along, a long way from here   Take me along to a far away shore   When you're poor it's easy to bare   With sunshine and soft summer air      At the end of the day   In a bar, with sailors I stand   And I talk about girls, about love   A glass in my hand      Then in my dreams, I can travel at seas   On a float, southern-bound   There I can hold all the magic in gold   Of the love I have found      When the bars on the quayside are closed   Alone I remain   I continue to dream   And each night the dream is the same      Take me along, a long way from here   Take me along to a far away shore   When you're poor it's easy to bare   With sunshine and soft summer air      Very soon I will take any troubled chance   That I can   Though I dream like a child   For my dreams I'll work like a man      I'll work and reprive for my to ticket-to-ride   Where the sun shines for me   Surviving any storms, and be wild to be warm   That's the way I must be      I'll be leaving behind no regrets   And hold my past   And I'll go to the sea   As I'll sail to freedom at last      Take me along, a long way from here   Take me along to a far away shore   When you're poor it's easy to bare   With sunshine and soft summer air      Take me along, a long way from here   Take me along to a far away shore   When you are poor it's easy to bare   With sunshine and soft summer air.
