Ports-of-Call
I can't help thinkin' as those ships sail away
What sirens beckon and call
How long at sea this time, how long between
The ports-of-call, ports-of-call
Under the bridge, they move to far off lands
Maybe Australia or North African sands
Complete the mission, supply and demand
To call, ports-of-call
And every day as the sun is setting
Along the bay, city lights appear
Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising
Time is growing near
When they'll be casting off anchor as they sail away
Into the morning light
Rising and falling through the blue and gray
To call, ports-of-call
And every day as the sun is setting
Along the bay, city lights appear
Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising
Time is growing near, oh-oh-oh
And every day as the sun is setting
Along the bay, city lights appear
Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising
Time is growing near
I'll take the chance this time to change my world (change my world)
And break those ties that bind (ties that bind)
Far from those people passing through my life
Like ports-of-call, ports-of-call
Under the bridge, I'll move to far off lands (far off lands)
Maybe Australia or North African sands (North African sands)
Complete my mission, hope you understand
Ports-of-call, ports-of-call
Ports-of-call, ports-of-call
Ports-of-call, ports-of-call
What sirens beckon and call
How long at sea this time, how long between
The ports-of-call, ports-of-call
Under the bridge, they move to far off lands
Maybe Australia or North African sands
Complete the mission, supply and demand
To call, ports-of-call
And every day as the sun is setting
Along the bay, city lights appear
Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising
Time is growing near
When they'll be casting off anchor as they sail away
Into the morning light
Rising and falling through the blue and gray
To call, ports-of-call
And every day as the sun is setting
Along the bay, city lights appear
Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising
Time is growing near, oh-oh-oh
And every day as the sun is setting
Along the bay, city lights appear
Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising
Time is growing near
I'll take the chance this time to change my world (change my world)
And break those ties that bind (ties that bind)
Far from those people passing through my life
Like ports-of-call, ports-of-call
Under the bridge, I'll move to far off lands (far off lands)
Maybe Australia or North African sands (North African sands)
Complete my mission, hope you understand
Ports-of-call, ports-of-call
Ports-of-call, ports-of-call
Ports-of-call, ports-of-call
