On the wings of a white bird
Over storm and spray and the silvery seas
On the deck of a liner
Bound for foreign shores and I’m going to be free
On the trail of horizons
In the desert sands and the long rolling plains
Dust your feet by the roadside
With a head full of dreams and a handful of change
They keep you waiting so long – come on
I really think it’s a sin
They keep you waiting so long – it’s wrong
For ships that never come in
Till you’re gone with the wind
Take me down to the station
Your European screams well they bought me so low
I just ran out of patience
Your all American dream I just don’t want to know
They keep you waiting…
Sitting there in your easy chair dreaming your life away
Sitting there in your easy chair as the moments as the hours slip away
Cross the frontiers before you
Climb the mountains so steep
With a song in your heart
I got nothing to lose
I’m packing up my bags and I’m making a start
