Red sunset dyes the sky and casts a glow upon the sea. When morning comes I sail away. When I return be here for me. Dry your eyes; don't cry, don't cry. I can't bear to leave without your smile. Raise your head; hold it high, hold it high. Walk tall, stand proud, don't be unhappy child. Cold nights adrift, alone. Every port of call a home. When stormy weather threatens me, I'll think of you and sleep in peace. Dry your eyes; don't cry, don't cry. I can't bear to leave without your smile. Raise your head; hold it high, hold it high. Walk tall, stand proud, don't be unhappy child. Full moon shines o'er the sea. The stars reveal your face to me. The rain reminds me of your tears; the memories rid me of my fears. Dry your eyes; don't cry, don't cry. I can't bear to leave without your smile. Raise your head; hold it high, hold it high. Walk tall, stand proud, don't be unhappy child. Red sunset dyes the sky and casts a glow upon the sea. When morning comes I sail away. When I return be here for me.
