[Verse 1]
You left me crying
Down on the jetty
You left me standing
All on my own

[Verse 2]
Your boat got smaller
Then smaller and smaller
I kept my eyes on you
'Til you were gone

[Chorus 1]
"Don't sail away, don't sail away"
Within my heart, I cried
But my words were locked away inside
And I could not turn the tide

[Interlude]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh

[Chorus 2]
"Don't sail away, don't sail away"
I stood there all tongue-tied
My words were locked away inside
And I could not hold the tide
[Verse 3]
Down on the jetty
I kept on standing
Watching the moon rise
Over the bay

[Verse 4]
That moon got smaller
Then smaller and smaller
I turned my face then
And walked away
