| Written:Gerry Beckley/Dewey Bunnell | |
| I can't help thinkin' as those ships sail away | |
| What sirens beckon and call | |
| How long at sea this time how long between | |
| The ports-of-call, ports-of-call | |
| Under the bridge they move to far off lands | |
| Maybe Australia or North African sands | |
| Complete the mission, supply and demand | |
| To ports-of-call, ports-of-call | |
| And everyday as the sun is setting | |
| Along the bay city lights appear | |
| Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising | |
| Time is growing near | |
| When they'll be casting off anchor as they sail away | |
| Into the morning light | |
| Rising and falling thru the blue and gray | |
| To ports-of-call, ports-of-call | |
| And everyday as the sun is setting | |
| Along the bay city lights appear | |
| Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising | |
| Time is growing near | |
| And everyday as the sun is setting | |
| Along the bay city lights appear | |
| Snake charmers sway while the smoke is rising | |
| Time is growing near | |
| I'll take the chance this time to change my world (change my world) | |
| And break those ties that bind (ties that bind) | |
| Far from those people passing through my life | |
| Like ports-of-call, ports-of-call | |
| Under the bridge I'll move to far off lands (far off lands) | |
| Maybe Australia or North African sands (North African sands) | |
| Complete my mission, hope you understand | |
| Ports-of-call, ports-of-call | |
| Ports-of-call, ports-of-call | |
| Ports-of-call, ports-of-call ... |
