Friend of all the World At Home on the Sea Lyrics Friend Of All The World lyrics

The wind knocked me down, well it blew me right over,
I said to myself, when I'm older,
I'll lie, alone in the night,
And dream of a land where I'm king, and my soldiers,
The cares that they bring, no more broad than my shoulders,
And light, as small things are light,

Small and vast I'm on an island,
Small and fast upon the sea,
Small and vast I'm on an island,
A boat at home on the sea,

The wind knocked me down, well it blew me right over,
I said to myself, when I'm older,
I'll lie, alone in the night,
And dream a more grand rambling dream,

Where the load of the world is a boat, and I am the rower,
And time's a shore left behind,

Small and vast I'm on an island,
Small and fast upon the sea,
Small and vast I'm on an island,
A boat at home on the sea,
And oh I'm not drifting away...

The wind knocked me down, well it blew me right over,
I said to myself, when I'm older,
I'll lie, at home in the night.
