As I walked by the dockside one evening so fair To view the still waters and take the salt air I heard an old fisherman singing this song O take me away
I am the great sun, but you do not see me And I am the husband, but you turn away I am the captive, but you do not free me And I am the captain you will
Every road I stand upon Every new place that I find Loving someone, remembering more Always something takes my time CHORUS: What would have happened
Watch your daughter's children play Thirty years ago today Memories of your last young summer Never seemed so far away Smiling at the gathering storm
Everything is going brightly now Everything is going straight But you know I must think twice right now It's really getting quite late CHORUS: And
Thro' the recent years I planned To live and play a lonely game Never was in great demand I heard you say you felt the same Now the faded years have
You and me, sitting on a bench, Watching the day go by No one paying us any attention, Not even to ask us why Sunshine in our eyes, We're watching it
You like the sun Have risen in my sky Spreading your light Mountain high You like the sun Like the sun in the sky You like the sun At noon in my sky
