Barely fifteen with no memory of being a child
Happy, carefree, so glad to be set loose in the wild
The world was so wide, I had to see it from the other side
These windblown, wondering and wandering days
Post office, we were staring at the multi-moored wall
Gonna sign on with the union at the Maritime Hall
Through the portal of blue, the seaside highway leads me on to you
In these windblown, wondering and wandering days
Then I saw you there with your eyes all ablaze
Bringing 'em in through the acid blue haze
The waves were so high, the sunlight was cold
On the crest, do or die as the ship pitched and rolled
Across the northern bay with the sailors who were rolling the bones
Gambling on the quays on our knees while the fog was in morns
Milky way round our necks and it swinging on the open decks
These windblown, wondering and wandering days
Through the portal of blue, the seaside highway leads me on to you
In these windblown, wondering and wandering days
Landlocked in these rooms, there's so much to say
Never bottom my sleep, not my sleeping all day
We got to the end, so have to shout it for they long to bend
These windblown, wondering and wandering days
These windblown, wondering and wandering days
