Outward Bound (Tom Paxton) Outward bound, upon a ship that sails no ocean Outward bound, it has no crew but me and you All alone when just a minute ago the shore was filled with people With people that we knew So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con Dios May they find whatever they are lookin for Remember when the wine was better than ever before We could not ask, we could not ask for more Outward bound upon a journey without ending Outward bound with uncharted waters beneath our bow For behind, the green familiar shore is fading into time And time has left us now Outward bound, upon a ship with tattered sail Outward bound upon a crooked lonesome trail Things we learn, we'll just be satisfied in knowing And we'll tell it to our kids as a fairy tale recorded by Tom Paxton Copyright Cherry Lane Music Publishing Co., Inc.
