Lord Grenville |
| Go and tell Lord Grenville that the tide is on the turn |
| It’s time to haul the anchor up and leave the land astern |
| We’ll be gone before the dawn returns |
| Like voices on the wind |
| Go and tell Lord Grenville that our dreams have run aground |
| There’s nothing here to keep us in this shanty town |
| None of us are caring where we’re bound |
| Like voices on the wind |
| And come the day you’ll hear them saying |
| «They're throwing it all away» |
| Nothing more to say |
| Just throwing it all away |
| Go and fetch the captain’s log and tear the pages out |
| We’re on our way to nowhere now, can’t bring the helm about |
| None of us are left in any doubt |
| We won’t be back again |
| Send a message to the fleet, they’ll search for us in vain |
| We won’t be there among the reaches of the Spanish Main |
| Tell the ones we left home not to wait |
| We won’t be back again |
| (Won't be back again…) |
| And come the day you’ll hear them saying |
| «They're throwing it all away» |
| Nothing more to say |
| Just throwing it all away |
| Our time is just a point along a line |
| That runs forever with no end |
| I never thought that we would come to find |
| Ourselves upon these rocks again |
| Oh no… |
| Go and tell Lord Grenville that the tide is on the turn |
