| Slowboat takes me to your home every day
|
| And I wait for you, knowing that you won’t come home
|
| Just today
|
| For you’ve found someone new
|
| And you’ve bid me adieu
|
| And I leave you now
|
| But I’ll come back another day
|
| Oooh, sail me far away
|
| Slowboat, bring me back another day
|
| Oooh, sail me far away
|
| Slowboat, sail off toward the seventh sea
|
| Far away from you, but somehow coming close again
|
| And again
|
| And again as we near
|
| From some sign, it appears
|
| That you won’t come home
|
| You won’t come home just today
|
| Oooh, sail me far away
|
| Slowboat, bring me back another day
|
| Slowboat takes me where I’ll always be
|
| Far away from you
|
| But knowing that you won’t come near me
|
| But you hear me
|
| And you’ll always be
|
| A true love to me
|
| Though you’re never home
|
| But I’ll come back another day
|
| Oooh, sail me far away
|
| Slowboat, bring me back another day
|
| Oooh, sail me far away
|
| Slowboat, bring me back another day
|
| Slowboat, bring me back another day
|
| Oooh, sail me far away
|
| Slowboat, bring me back another day |
