we're sailing on an ocean
on an ocean
and the time flies
we left the port of Amsterdam
we wave our hands
and say goodbye
we say goodbye goodbye

the heart is at the wheel tonight
the wheel tonight is turning west
the moon is on the sea and shines
on waves that never take a rest
we say goodbye goodbye
we say
goodbye

we're heading for no destiny
no destiny is on our mind
the morning breaks
the evening falls
and we can leave the world behind
I know there are some problems
but I'm gonna have to solve them
when I'm older
for now I've got a bottle and a blanket
and I use it when it's colder
we say goodbye goodbye
we say goodbye goodbye
ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja ja

we're sailing on an ocean
on an ocean
and the time flies
we left the port of Amsterdam
we wave our hands
and say goodbye
we say goodbye goodbye
we say goodbye goodbye
