I can tell a story

Deeper than the blue, blue sea ...

Sail away ...

And I can sing of glory,

Knowing that my people are free ...

Samuel, stay.

There will come a time

You'll look to the tides ...

And I'll be looking for you ...

Oh, oh, ooh!

My eyes can see things far away;

The wounds will never heal ...

I've said all that I need to say;

The book is nearly sealed ...

And now it's time to take the road

That leads my flight to peace ...

Sam, I really hate to go,

But the time has come for me.

Now I can tell a story

Deeper than the blue, blue sea ...

Sail away ...

And I can sing of glory,

Knowing that my people are free ...

Samuel, stay.

There will come a time

You'll look to the tides ...

And I'll be looking for you ...

Oh, oh, ooh!

West of the moon

East of the sun

There's a place I long to be ...

Go tell your Rosie

The time has come

And I need your company ...

There's a ship that sails,

A light that shines,

And friends along the way ...

Let's journey together

One last time,

Down to the Grey Havens!

Now I can tell a story

Deeper than the blue, blue sea ...

Sail away ...

And I can sing of glory,

Knowing that my people are free ...

Sam, you will stay;

There will come a time

You'll look to the tides ...

And I'll be looking for you ...

Oh, oh, ooh!
