lyrics

Sail me away
Like a ship that will sail through the night
I have served you well but my service no longer required
Torn from inside
As my lining has frayed to the wire
Like two ageing men it is time for us both to retire

I’m sorry my friend, that my time on this earth has expired
I leave you now, as my appearance is weary and tired
Please don’t forget, the times that we drank by the fire
You must carry on now I’m gone

I remember the time
You were drunk and you bathed me in wine
I’ve lived by your bed and when those things were said was discreet
Been by your side
Your accomplice on Saturday nights
We have been on stage and shone in the brightest of lights

Made my last march, I’m a soldier who’s honourably discharged
Shot in the head like a horse who fell at the last fence
Now I can see the pleasure you had wearing me
You must carry on now I’m gone

I’ll never be replaced
I’m the old brown boot and you’ll forever remember my name
I’ll never be undone
I’m the old brown boot and I’m not governed by lace
