Lord Grenville

Go and tell
Lord Grenville that the tide is on the turn
Its time to haul the anchor up and leave the land astern
Well be gone before the dawn returns
Like voices on the wind.
Go and tell
Lord Grenville that our dreams have run aground
Theres nothing here to keep us in this shanty town
None of us are caring where were bound
Like voices on the wind
And come the day youll hear them saying 'Theyre throwing it all away'
Nothing more to say
Just throwing it all away
Go and fetch the captains log and tear the pages out
Were on our way to nowhere now, cant bring the helm about
None of us are left in any doubt
We wont be back again
Send a message to the fleet, theyll search for us in vain
We wont be there among the reaches of the
Spanish Main
Tell the ones we left home not to wait
We wont be back again. (Wont be back again...)
And come the day youll hear them saying 'Theyre throwing it all away'
Nothing more to say
Just throwing it all away
Our time is just a point along a line
That runs forever with no end
I never thought that we would come to find
Ourselves upon these rocks again
Oh no... Go and tell
Lord Grenville that the tide is on the turn
