| Lyrics:Ub40 Music:Ub40 | |
| I've been away | |
| High on a breeze | |
| Tasted the salt of the seven blue seas Verse 1 | |
| Washed upon shores | |
| Sun in my eyes | |
| Stayed long enough just to say my goodbyes... | |
| I walked in the rain | |
| Wet me through and through | |
| Following rainbows that lead me back to you Chorus | |
| I've always believed | |
| In what I've been told | |
| Where rainbows end there's a pot of gold... | |
| I'll read the stars | |
| Talk to the moon | |
| Stop when I hear somebody playing our tune Verse 2 | |
| Any excuse | |
| And you'll see me | |
| Drifting back home to the place I should be... | |
| Some people say | |
| Listen to me | |
| Mostly I find that I disagree Verse 3 | |
| They tell me to change | |
| Set myself free | |
| I'm not convinced I don't want to be me | |
| Maybe I'll stay | |
| Maybe I'll go | |
| Maybe I'll stick around I don't know Verse 4 | |
| One thing for sure | |
| This I can say | |
| I'm coming back; I've been so far away |
