Orinoco Flow (Sail Away) Lyrics By Enya

    let me sail let me sail
    let the orinoco flow
    let me reach let me beach
    on the shores of tripoli
    let me sail let me sail
    let me crash upon your shore
    let me reach let me beach
    far beyond the yellow sea

    interlude
    deda dedade
    deda dedade
    deda dedade
    deda dedade
    deda dedade

    sail away sail away sail away
    sail away sail away sail away
    sail away sail away sail away
    sail away sail away sail away

    from bissau to palau
    in the shade of avalon
    from fiji to tiree
    and the isles of ebony
    from peru to cebu
    feel the power of babylon
    from bali to cali
    far beneath the coral sea

    interlude
    deda dedade
    deda dedade
    deda dedade
    deda dedade
    deda dedade

    turn it up turn it up
    turn it up up
    adieu ooh
    turn it up turn it up
    turn it up up
    adieu ooh
    turn it up turn it up
    turn it up up
    adieu ah

    sail away sail away sail away
    sail away sail away sail away
    sail away sail away sail away
    sail away sail away sail away

    from the north to the south
    ebudæ unto khartoum
    from the deep sea of clouds
    to the island of the moon
    carry me on the waves
    to the lands i’ve never been
    carry me on the waves
    to the lands i’ve never seen
    we can sail we can sail
    with the orinoco flow
    we can sail we can sail
    sail away sail away sail away

    4
    we can steer we can near
    with rob dickins at the wheel
    we can sigh say goodbye
    ross and his dependency
    we can sail we can sail
    sail away sail away sail away

    5
    we can reach we can beach
    on the shores of tripoli
    we can sail we can sail
    sail away sail away sail away
    from bali to cali
    far beneath the coral sea
    we can sail we can sail
    sail away sail away sail away

    6
    from bissau to palau
    in the shade of avalon
    we can sail we can sail
    sail away sail away sail away
    we can reach we can beach
    far beyond the yellow sea
    we can sail we can sail
    sail away sail away sail away

    7
    from peru to cebu
    feel the power of babylon
    we can sail we can sail
    sail away sail away sail away
    we can sail we can sail
    sail away sail away sail away
    sail away sail away sail away
    sail away sail away sail away
    sail away sail away sail away
    sail away sail away sail away

    ah ahah
    ah ahah
    ah
