i’m sailing away
set an open course for the virgin sea
’cause 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 lived happily forever so the story goes
but somehow we missed out on the pot of gold
but we’ll try best that we can to carry on
pre
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 come sail away with me lads
come sail away come sail away come sail away with me
come sail away come sail away come sail away with me babe
come sail away come sail away come sail away with me
break
pre
i thought that they were angels but to my surprise
we climbed aboard their starship we headed for the skies
singing come sail away come sail away come sail with me lads
come sail away come sail away come sail away with me
come sail away come sail away come sail away with me
come sail away come sail away come sail away with me
come sail away come sail away come sail away with me
come sail away come sail away come sail away with me
come sail away come sail away come sail away with me
come sail away come sail away come sail away with me
come sail away come sail away come sail away with me
