[Verse 1] I knew a boy who would not share his bike Oh, but he let me go sailing I swore that I could survive any storm Oh, then he let me go [Pre-Chorus 1] "Can you launch rockets from here?" Boy, I've done it for years Right over my head And when I promised my hand He promised me back Snow cherries from France [Chorus] All that summer, we travelled the world Never leaving his own back garden Girls, I didn't know just what it could be Oh, but he let me go sailing [Verse 2] You question me, "Can you ride anything?"

Invaders and traders with the best intentions May convince you to go [Pre-Chorus 2] "They look like pirates from here" Boy, I've been one for years Just keeping my head And when I promised my head He promised me back Snow cherries from France [Chorus] All that summer, we travelled the world Never leaving his own back garden Girls, I didn't know just what it could be Oh, but he let me go sailing [Outro] And then one day he said, "Girl it's been nice Oh, but I have to go sailing" With cinnamon lips that did not match his eyes Oh, then he let me go
