Little ships sailing away, your sextant set for the sun
I’ve tried my best to show you how life can be cruel and fun
You will soon untether your-selves and then quietly slip from my grasp
I have loved you from your first breath and always will till my last
Little ships sailing away, into new un-chartered waters
You may meet with little Bo Peep or Captain Birds Eye’s daughter
Anything can happen to you I will always hear what you say
Now it’s up to you to decide between what’s bad and what’s OK
Scupper, bosun, any port in a storm
And the home fires still burning and warm
And your rations are caviar or Quorn
Whoever you’re attracted to it’s your choice and it’s OK
On a solo life adventure…
Little ships sailing away to a hopeful happy ending
I know from time to time it’s our money you’ll be spending
But I never counted the cost
Though I’m happy I’m slightly lost
It’s another bridge I’ll cross
Saying goodbye my little ships, goodbye my little ships…
Scupper, bosun, any port in a storm
And the home fires still burning and warm
And your rations are caviar or Quorn
Whoever you’re attracted to it’s your choice and it’s OK
On a solo life adventure…
