On A Slow Boat To China Lyrics & Chords By Luke Thompson

I was young when I set out I can hardly remember Oh the tales that I could tell you If I only could remember And the fog it is drumming And the new world is coming Oh this song I will be humming When the words wont come out On a slow boat to China I will be, I will be In the sea, when we get there We will see what will be On a slow boat to China I will be, I will be We will see when we get there What will be Now I'm old I am weathered my beard is long and white I have seen many crawling winters On this sleepy ark Still we go for our fathers And we go for the lost Still we go ever on Into the common dark
