Wouldn't you love to be out on the rolling sea
With only the sky above you for a roof
What if your friends were there, laugh at all your jokes
And share sweet salt air with you, wouldn't that be good
You know it would
Wouldn't you love to find yourself there sometime
Ducking when the bow swings your way
Whenever we make plans you tell me you're a busy man
That you'd go but you really should stay
Someday soon you'd say
Nothing escapes the rolling sea, not the past nor you or me
You keep the world at bay, should it all wash away
You wouldn't feel no pain of those who can
Gather the boat and wind and a few of your closest friends
Gonna ride in and swim while the weather's fine
Oh, it's been such a long time
Oh, it's been such a long time
Oh, it's been such a long time
