Sailin' around, sailin' around, sailin' around,
I've been out sailin' around again
I've been sailin' around
But I can't get back to you.

Hangin' around, hangin' around, hangin' around
I've been out hangin' around again
I've been hangin' around
But I can't get back to you.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/john+prine/german+afternoons_20074710.html ]
Chorus:
So tell where you been so long (sailin' around)
What have I done so wrong? (sailin' around)
Well, I'm so glad I finally found you
I can't wait to put my arms around you
Sailin' around, but I can't get back to you

Shoppin' around, shoppin' around, shoppin' around,
I've been shoppin' around again
I've been shoppin' around
But I can't get back to you.

Repeat chorus:

Sailin' around, sailin' around, sailin' around,
I've been sailin' around again
I've been sailin' around but I can't get back to you.
I've been sailin' around but I can't get back to you.
I've been sailin' around but I can't get back to you.
