She's standing by the waterside, she's waiting for her man
On the evening wind, she hears a whistle blow
It's coming from the factory, she hears it every day
Her soft cheeks flush, he's on his way
They're going where the sun is shinin'
They're going for that silver linin'
They're gonna work and make it pay
And she say «mmm, well, one fine day, spread those wings, fly away»
(Fly away) That's right
Now I don't lie, no, cold wind and rain
Gonna sail away, one fine day, yeah
Now, hope it springs eternally
At least that's what they say
Boy it gets hard to feel that way
When he sees his little darling hide
The tear with a smile
He say «Come here baby, now don't you cry, no»
We're going where that sun is shinin', We're goin' for that silver linin'
We're gonna work and make it pay
And she said «Hmm, well, one fine day, spread those wings, fly away» (Fly away)
Now I don't like, no, cold wind and rain
Gonna sail away one fine day, yeah
One fine day, gonna sail away, one fine day, yeah
