lyrics

in my early days in good old Lancashire
a beautiful place to stay for both me and my sister
now do you remember bon voyage Charlie Brown
a pound a week for sweets and treats
the daily sun the sunday mirror
that coin looked like gold to me

I’ll remember those days till the day that I die
Your deep voice A-saying Tomorrow never comes
It was simple in terms be patient you said
The world will be yours when my boat comes in

so there I stood awaiting silent attraction
pacing Morecambe bay lost in the horizon
just show me a sign like smoke on the water
‘cause maybe that boat will bring back my father
now will it come soon, yeah tomorrow you said
it might even sail down river lune

I’ll remember those days till the day that I die
I can still hear you say Tomorrow never comes
It was simple in terms be patient you said
The world will be yours when my boat comes in


years they have passed I’m no longer expecting
any deal to go down any boat to come in
when at the end of the day you retire from this world
please take me with you…


I’ll remember those days till the day that I die
Your deep voice A-saying Tomorrow never comes
It was simple in terms be patient you said
The world will be yours when my boat comes in

It don't have to be this way I don't need no goodbyes
I’ve never really been into sailing anyway
This ain’t simple it ain't and patient I’ve been
My world will be torn when your boat comes in…
