John Taylor's Month Away Lyrics

I love to look out at the sea
from the Swing Park Key at Rum Bay Beach
Today John Taylor starts his month away
on a boat one ten miles east of Aberdeen
A dozen men, thirty days with twenty four hours in each
of shattered boyhood dreams and not much sleep
I'd much rather be me
for once I'd much rather be me
A month at sea and they will surely sleep
with their heads still stuck on land
A month out when and then they surely dream
of girls the can afford but cannot have

And in the druken haze their on a rolling wave
