Wouldn't you like to be out on the rollin' sea With only the sky above you for a roof? What if your friends were there? Laugh at all your jokes and share Sweet salt air with you Wouldn't that be good? You know it would ♪ Wouldn't you like to find yourself there sometime? Duckin' when the bow swings your way Whenever we make plans you tell me you're a busy man That you'd go but you really should stay Someday soon, you say ♪ Nothing escapes the rolling sea Not the past nor you or me ♪ You keep the world at bay Should it all wash away? You wouldn't feel no pain of those who can Gather the boat and the wind And a few of your closest friends Gonna ride and swim while the weather's fine Oh, it's been such a long time Oh, it's been such a long time Oh, it's been such a long time
