a month away
I love to look
Out at the sea
From the swing park here
At Roome Bay Beach
Today John Taylor
Starts his month away
On a boat, one ten miles east
Of Aberdeen
A dozen men, thirty days
With twenty-four hours in each
Of shattered boyhood dreams
And not much sleep
I'd much rather be me
For once I'd much rather be me
A month at sea
And then they'll surely sleep
With their heads
Still stuck on land
A month on land
And then they'll surely dream
Of girls they can afford
But cannot have
Songwriters: Jon Hopkins / Kenny Anderson
