Outward Bound

Follows the version of the song found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqkaIfSfU_A E7 is fingered like so: E 0 2 G 1 B 3 e 0 [Intro] [Verse] Outward bound upon a ship that sails no ocean Outward bound it has no crew but me and you All alone when just a minute ago the shore Was filled with people with people that we knew [Verse 2] Outward bound upon a journey without ending Outward bound uncharted waters beneath our bow Far behind the green familiar shore is fading Into time and time has left us now [Chorus 1] So farewell adieu so long vaya con Dios May they find whatever they are looking for Remember when the wine was better than ever again We could not ask we could not ask for more [Verse 3] Outward bound upon a ship with tattered sail Outward bound along a crooked lonesome trail Things we learn we’ll just be satisfied in knowing And we’ll tell it to our kids as a fairy tale [Chorus 2] So farewell adieu so long vaya con Dios May they find whatever they are looking for Remember when the wine was better than ever again We could not ask we could not ask for more We could not ask we could not ask for more

La chanson évoque un voyage en mer, symbolisant un départ vers l'inconnu avec une seule autre personne. Alors que la côte familière s'éloigne, on prend conscience que le chemin n’est pas balisé et que le passé s’efface lentement. Les souvenirs de moments joyeux, comme le partage d'une bonne bouteille de vin, émergent et rappellent des temps simples et heureux. Entre l’adieu aux autres et l'acceptation de l’inconnu, il y a une belle mélancolie, ainsi qu’une promesse de transmettre ces histoires comme des contes à ceux qui viendront après nous.
