Sometimes I wish I was a sailor   Way out on the stormy sea   Far away from the city and all this misery      And I wish that I could tell you   Just how much you mean to me   No matter where I run to, I'll never lose your memory      Sometimes I close my eyes and drift away   I can't forget the things I didn't say   I chose a life that took me away from you   And I will be forever blue      When you wake up in tomorrow   And I'm no longer by your side   Just don't think too much about me   And of the many times you've cried      And wherever you may wander   May good fortune be your guide   Go find another lover   One who'll never leave your side      Sometime I close my eyes and drift away   I chose a life that took me away from you   And I will be forever blue
