outward bound

paxton, tom

outward bound

upon a ship that sails no ocean

outward bound

it has no crew but me and you

all alone

when just a minute ago the shore

was filled with people

with people that we knew. so farewell

adieu

so long

vaya con dios. may they find whatever they are looking for. remember when the wine was better than ever before. we could not ask

we could not ask for more. outward bound upon a journey without ending

outward bound

uncharted waters beneath our bow. far behind

the green familiar shore is fading

into time

and time has left us now. outward bound

upon a ship with tattered sail

outward bound upon a crooked

lonesome trail. things we learn

we'll just be satisfied in knowing

and we'll tell it to our kids as a fairy tale.
