Orinoco Flow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up-up, adieu
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up-up, adieu
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up-up, adieu
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, Ebudae unto Khartoum
From the deep Sea of Clouds to the Island of the Moon
Carry me on the waves to the land 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
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
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
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
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
