Ships in the night is just a cliché
But I can't think of anything better to say
When I think about all the times 'tween you and I
We had our days and we had our nights
And then it all came down to one last fight
Now I can't remember who said what or why
But you say, come back baby, won't you see the light
We'll work it out and make things right
But I don't think that's how it's going to play
If it's all the same to you
I'll sail away
Any old port in a storm will do
But now it's time to set my course anew
Gonna hoist up my sails, John B, anchors aweigh
Oh, I loved you and you loved me back
But I think I'm ready to try a new tack
The blue horizon's callin' me astray
But you say, come back baby, won't you see the light
We'll work it out and make things right
But I don't think that's how it's going to play
If it's all the same to you
I'll sail away
Won't you look out at the shimmerin' lights across the Bay
Won't you think of me, darlin', even as I sail away
But you say, come back baby, won't you see the light
We'll work it out and make things right
But I don't think that's how it's going to play
If it's all the same to you
I'll sail away
