[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Oooh, sail me far away
Slowboat, bring me back another day
Oooh, sail me far away

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Oooh, sail me far away
Slowboat, bring me back another day

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Oooh, sail me far away
Slowboat, bring me back another day
Oooh, sail me far away
Slowboat, bring me back another day

[Chorus]
Slowboat, bring me back another day
Oooh, sail me far away
Slowboat, bring me back another day
