Outward Bound
(En partant)

Outward bound
Upon a ship that sails no ocean
Outward bound
It has no crew but me and you all alone
When just a minute ago the shore was filled with people
With people that we knew

Outward bound
Upon a journey without ending
Outward bound
Uncharted waters beneath are far, far behind
The green familiar shore is fading into time 
And time has left us now

So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con dios
May they find whatever they are looking for
Remember when the wine was better than ever again
We could not ask
We could not ask for more
Outward bound
Upon a ship with tattered sails
Outward bound
Along a crooked, lonesome trail
Things we learned, will just be satisfied in knowing
And we' ll tell it to our kids as a fairytale

So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con dios
May they find whatever they are looking for
Remember when the wine was better than ever again
We could not ask
We could not ask for more
We could not ask, we could not ask for more

(Paxton)
