Never been a sailor but I've never settled down Always for a moment, always for a laugh I've been too long here, and I'm getting bored and weak And my true love couldn't find peace with me
I've seen the open seas Many've sailed before me And I look down at my feet Nothing's holding me still
So I shall raise my anchor and leave Hope that my sails catch some strong winds Haul away, me boys, for we don't belong here Say fare thee well, me boys, for we are called by the seas
It's been ten years since I left my own country And I've seen many faces in many places Some of them I still hold near
But it was never my intention It was not part of the plan To try to build a home Fall in love and break it off
I've become a dichotomy of sorts
So I shall raise my anchor and leave Hope that my sails catch some strong winds Haul away, me boys, for we don't belong here Say fare thee well, me boys, for we are called by the seas
A girl once believed that she could marry me And that by the shore our life could be But when I felt the breeze I took my pay and set to leave And she said I would never see her with the eyes that I see thee
Because you My captain could be We'd never put our anchor down Through lowlands and the dreich Oh my true love It's not to be So haul away and fare thee well May one day we meet again
For I shall raise my anchor and leave Hope that my sails catch some strong winds Haul away, me boys, for we don't belong here Say fare thee well, me boys, for we are called by the seas
And we shall raise our anchor and leave (Raise our anchor and leave) Hope that our sails catch some strong winds (Catch some strong winds) Haul away, me boys, for we don't belong here Say fare thee well, me boys, for we are called by the seas
For I shall raise my anchor and leave Hope that my sails catch some strong winds Haul away, me boys, for we don't belong here Say fare thee well, me boys, for we are called by the seas
