Sometimes i wish i was a sailor
Way out on the stormy sea,
Far away from the city
Oh and all this misery,
And i wish that i could tell you
Just how much you mean to me,
No matter where i run to,
I'll never lose your memory.

Chorus:
Sometimes i close my eyes and drift away,
I can't forget the things i didn't say,
I chose a life that took me away from you,
And i will be forever blue.

When you wake up in tomorrow
And i'm no longer by your side,
Just don't think too much about me
And of the many times you've cried,
And wherever you may wander
May good fortune be your guide,
Go find another lover,
One who'll never leave your side.

(chorus)

I chose a life that took me away from you,
And i will be forever blue.
