Lord Grenville lyrics

Go and tell Lord Grenville that the tide is on the turn
It`s time to haul the anchor up and leave the land astern
We`ll be gone before the dawn returns
Like voices onthe wind.

Go and tell Lord Grenville that our dreams have run aground
There`s nothing here to keep us in this shanty town
None of us are caring where we`re bound
Like voices on the wind.

And come the day you`ll hear them saying
`They`re throwing it all away`
Nothing more to say
Just throwing it all away.

Go and fetch the captain`s log and tear the pages out
We`re on our way to nowhere now, can`t bring the helm about
None of us are left in any doubt
We won`t be back again.

Send a message to the fleet, they`ll search for us in vain
We won`t be there among the reaches of the Spanish Main
Tell the ones we left home not to wait
We won`t be back again.

And come the day you`ll hear them saying
`They`re throwing it all away`
Nothing more to say
Just throwing it all away.

Our time is just a point along a line
That runs forever with no end
I never thought that we would come to find
Ourselves upon these rocks again.

Go and tell Lord Grenville that the tide is on the turn...
