Al Stewart - Lord Grenville

Al Stewart - Lord Grenville



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


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


We'll be gone before the dawn returns


Like voices onthe wind.



Go and tell Lord Grenville that our dreams have run aground


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


None of us are caring where we're bound


Like voices on the wind.



And come the day you'll hear them saying


"They're throwing it all away"


Nothing more to say


Just throwing 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 in any 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 the 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 throwing it all away"


Nothing more to say


Just throwing it all away.



Our 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 turn...
