Sail Around the World - David Gates

I would sail around the world

Look for gold and dive for pearl

But I know I will never get to go

I would like to win a prize

Be in everybody's eyes

But it's true

I would probably not get to

My life has always been simple

No one ever knows when I come and go

And my dreams are ending at sunrise

And dreaming just don't make it so

So I've lived without regrets

Wouldn't change a thing and yet

Now and then

Wish that I could start again

My life has always been simple

No one ever knows when I come and go

And my dreams are ending at sunrise

And dreaming just don't make it so

I would sail around the world

Look for gold and dive for pearl

But I know I will never get to go

It's true

I would probably not get to
