Sail Away

Walk a cold thin line
In the morning
Hold the fear inside
That greets you with the day
I cant go with you now
I can only watch you now
Watch you, as you sail away
As you sail away
Im gonna miss you now
So much more than I realized
Theres a heavy stone of empty
Where you once laid
And I cant go with you now
I can only watch you now
(Watch you) as you sail away
Sail away
I know you need your freedom
Sail away
Cuz without it you cant survive
Be on your way
Disappear into the distance
I smile and say: Sail away
And I cant go with you now
I can only watch you now
Watch you, as you sail away
Sail away
Sail away
Sail away
