[Intro] [Verse 1] I remember now the time you left you thought to say farewell But for how long you would be gone there was no way to tell You just set out upon your road it caused you lots of grief And took you many places that you came to for to leave   [Chorus] Alone for years you sailed around at last your ship come in Well charge admission on her deck or sail her out again    [Verse 2] Among the people that you met are some you’ll see again With perfumed flowers in your hands you stood there in the rain They set the stage for anything and everyone was game You came alone and now at home they stop and ask your name    [Chorus] Alone for years you sailed around at last your ship come in Well charge admission on her deck or sail her out again    [Verse 2] You’d like to see your friends again the ones left on the road And ramble ’round from town to town and tell me what’s been told And sing the song you sang before you sat before the king And fate alone will guide you on and give you words to sing    [Chorus] Alone for years you sailed around at last your ship come in Well charge admission on her deck or sail her out again    [Outro]
