I Headed East

In the year of ’94

I left old England’s shore

to sail for evermore

I headed East

Through the storms of Biscayne bay

Past Portugal and Spain

to The mediterran I came

I headed East

Onto Egypt’s Port Said

and the canal that man has made

amongst Arab world I sailed

and headed East

Sri Lanka and Malaysia passed me by

Christmas Island I saw on high

to Australias Southern Bight

I headed East

On Japan’s Serene shore

I dallied a month or more

then into the Pacific Sea once more

I headed East

To Pannama I came

to the canal of Million graves

Then Carribeans bountiful isles

and headed East

The whales they sang to me

my home I would soon see

Across the Atlantic sea

if I headed East

This world I’ve sailed all round

no circumfence I found

by heading out I’m Homeward bound

I headed East
