Took a trip across the ocean
To see the world
Had to get myself in motion
My sails unfurled
I didn't know a lot
Hadn't got a clue
Then I found love,
Sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet love with you
Oh why did it take so long to find
Why oh why were my sight-seeing eyes
So blind to you

Stayed awhile in many places,
So much to see
Eastern nights and pretty faces
Attracted me
I never thought I would,
Thought I could be true
Then I found love,
Sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet love with you
Oh why etc.

All my journeys way behind me,
I travelled well
I came home where friends could find me,
The tales I tell
I thought there couldn't be
More for me to view
Then I found love,
Sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet love with you
Why oh why etc.
