The sun shines on Portsmouth but not where I am It’s nothing but wishing on stars Two thousand five hundred light years from home How did I wander so far?
The east wind is blowing The anchor is weighed I’m turning my back to the gale With a flask on my hip and a prayer on my lip and a promising wind in my sail
And maybe I’ll make it or maybe I won’t The future is so hard to see Too much has happened and so much is lost and I don't know who I’m supposed to be
