Don't look me up, my darling,
Don't look me up I say,
It is time I sailed away.

The hurricane warning,
Is blowing through my brain,
And it's time I sailed away.

I know what it's like,
I know what it's like to stray,
And I know what it's like,
I know what it's like to pray,
(And I pray),

But I long to see the morning,
Dawn in another place,
And it's time I sailed away.

The mirror is holding a tear,
That roles on my face,
And that is a vision I cannot erase,
Or betray.

The mariners and paramours,
Are there upon the bay,
And it's time I sailed away.

I know what it's like,
I know what it's like to stay,
And I know what it's like,
I know what it's like to pray,
(And I pray),

That though I'll be free-wheelin',
I will return someday,
But it's time I sailed away.

It is time I sailed away.
