Wouldn't you like to be
out on the rolling sea
with only the sky above you for a roof
What if you're friends were there
laughed at your jokes and shared
Sweet soft air with you, wouldn't that be good?
You know it would
Wouldn't you like 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'll say
Nothin' 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 losing kind
Gather the boat and wind
and a few of your closest friends
Gonna ride and swim while the weather's nice
Oh it's been such a long time
Oh it's been such a long time
Oh it's been such a long time
