[Verse 1]
The hand on the clock keeps turning round and round
It points to the time of the day
The time means nothing with you by my side
Though some time I'll be away

[Chorus]
Down the road to where I must go
There's nothing between you and me
I'll take a boat down the river, my love
And I'll sail away to the sea
Yes, I'll sail away to the sea

[Verse 2]
What will you take to remember me by?
I've no money to buy you a smile
I can't say the words to bid you farewell, so I carry them with me a while

[Chorus]
Down the road to where I must go
There's nothing between you and me
I'll take a boat down the river, my love
And I'll sail away to the sea
Yes, I'll sail away to the sea
Yes, I'll sail away to the sea
