Slowboat takes me to your home everyday
   And I wait for you knowing that you won't come home, just today
   For you've found someone new and you'll bid me adieu
   And I leave you now, but I'll come back another day
  
   Oooh, sail me far away
   Slowboat, bring me back another day
   Oooh, sail me far away
  
   Slowboat sail off toward the seventh sea
   Far away from you, but somehow coming close again and again
   And again as we near from some sign it appears
   That you won't come home, you won't come home just today
  
   Oooh, sail me far away
   Slowboat, bring me back another day
  
   Slowboat takes me where I'll always be
   Far away from you, but knowing that you won't come near me but you hear me
   And you'll always be a true love to me
   Though you're never home, I'll come back another day
  
   Oooh, sail me far away
   Slowboat, bring me back another day
