Lord Grenville (2001 Digital Remaster) - Al Stewart

Go and tell Lord Grenville that the tide is on the run

It's time to haul the anchor up and leave the land astern

We'll be gone before the dawn returns

Like voises on the wind

Go and tell Lord Grenville that our dreams have run around

There's nothing here to keep us in this shanty town

None of us are caring where we're bound

Like voices in the wind

And come the day you'll hear them saying

"They're throwing it all away"

Nothing more to say

Just throw 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 to 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 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 trowing it all away"

Nothing more to say

Just throwing it all away

Out 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 run
