(The Oysterband)

We used to play down by the water
When the spring was in the tide
And there was me and Cat McCluskey
And we ran down side, by side
Those games and sweet collisions
Led to kisses like wet sand
Well, I tried to hold the spring tide back
Too young to understand

Sail, sail on by
Over the deep dark ocean
Till the day I die
Let the ocean carry me

In time I stood beside the harbour
Just to watch the gulls in flight
And there were girls so full of summer
That they couldn't sleep at night
They moved so ripe and careless
How they let their shadows fall
I closed my eyes against the sun
Or I couldn't see at all

Sail, sail on by
Over the deep dark ocean
Till the day I die
Let the ocean carry me
