Lyrics Nana Mouskouri

Nana Mouskouri

Outward Bound

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 our bow

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 and 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
