Stops for a short while, on a steep hill incline
He runs from time to time, treading out a pace
A path that will be so hard to follow
Back-breaking precision, breath-taking speed
If he tries his luck he will succeed

Watches set at Greenwich Time
The watch he keeps, he cannot sleep
Sees the ships out in the night
He hears their call, he sees their lights

This time, he’s out on his own
For the first time, he’s out on his own
Till the next time, he’s out on his own

Watches set at Greenwich Time
The watch he keeps, he cannot sleep
Sees the ships out in the night
He hears their call, he sees their lights

This time, he’s out on his own
For the first time, he’s out on his own
Till the next time, he’s out on his own

He’s out on his own
He’s out on his own
He’s out on his own
