I heard you're going away, so far away   On a ship across the sea   Guess you never thought to convey   That you're going so far away, away      A message in a bottle   You left for me   To decipher the meaning   It made the voyage across the sea   And found its way back to me, me      You forgot your way home   You left your keys on the table   No compass will guide you on your way      La,la....      I've always wondered   Why dogs spin around before they lay down   I guess it's to see where else they could be      You've gone away, so far away   On a ship across the sea   Guess you never thought to convey   That you're going so far away   So far away from me
