Come Sail Away

There are all kinds of travel.
Some of us whose imagination is strong
dream of sailing away.
Words have always stirred my imagination.
Words also move my soul.

Does the lost child of your past,
still wait, as children do,
for your return?

You need only find what opens your heart
or stirs your imagination
or makes you giggle with glee.
It is difficult to locate
in a harsh and unforgiving world
those realities which nourish this child of man.
but there are other worlds
and there are dreams

Last night I dreamed of sailing
and this morning I found this song
and it would be so complete
if you could just come along...

I'm sailing away
set an open course for the virgin sea

I've got to be free
free to face the life that's ahead of me

On board I'm the captain
so climb aboard

We'll search for tomorrow on every shore

And I'll try oh Lord
I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea
reflections in the waves
spark my memory

Some happy some sad
I think of childhood friends
and the dreams we had

We live happily forever so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope
and this is what they said
They said come sail away come sail away

I thought that they were angels
but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship
and headed for the skies

Singing come sail away
come sail away
Come sail away with me

Come sail away

come sail away

Come sail away with me
