Lyrics

Waiting for the ship to Farallon.
Hoping for the best since she?s been gone.
One day at the station. Two days on the rail.
Soon the ocean wind will fill our sails. So go the tales.

Hoping that the tide will wash away
mem?ries of a dark and lonely day.
Take me there forever. Take me there.
Whatever I might find, I know it?s got to be
a better place where I will see
the stars shine bright all through the night so freely when I am on old Farallon.

Waiting for the ship to Farallon.
Nothing but these dreams to carry on.
The days were getting longer, much too long for me.
I wish that I?d been stronger, but now I see it was meant to be.

Lying in the distance far away,
the isles of many dreams will last the days.
Take me there forever. Take me there.
Whatever I might find, I know it?s got to be
a better place where I will see
the stars shine bright all through night so freely
when I am on old Farallon.

Chorus:
Hang on! It?s time to sail on.
Hang on! Hang on!
She?s gone now. It?s time to carry on.
We?re on our way to Farallon.

Standing on the ship to Farallon,
gazing at the docks we?d walked upon.
I wonder when I?ll see her. I wonder how she?ll be.
With, oh, so many wonders out at sea, what?s there for me?

Waiting as the hours pass away,
sailing ever farther from the bay.
Take me there forever. Take me there.
Whatever I might find, I know it?s got to be
a better place where I will see
the stars shine bright all through the night so freely when I am on old Farallon.

Chorus:
Hang on! It?s time to sail on.
Hang on! Hang on!
She?s gone now. It?s time to carry on.
We?re on our way to Farallon.

Sailing on the ship to Farallon.
Hoping for the best since she?s been gone.
Take me there forever. Oh, take me there.
Whatever I might find, I know it?s got to be
a better place where I will see
the stars shine bright all through the night so freely when I am on old Farallon.
