Lyrics
Sail Away
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.
If you're driftin' on an empty ocean
With no wind to fill your sail
The future, your horizon
It's like searchin' for the Holy Grail
You feel there's no tomorrow
As you look into the water below
It's only your reflection
And you still ain't got no place to go
Time will show
When, I don't know
Sail away tomorrow
Sailin' far away
To find it steal or borrow
I'll be there someday yea-yea-yeah yea-ye-yeah
Oh, woman, I keep returnin
To sing the same old song
The story's been told, now I'm gettin' old
Tell me,where do I belong?
Feel like I'm goin' to surrender
Nard times I've had enough
If I could find a place to hide my face
I believe, I could get back up
Time will show
When, I don't know
Sail away tomorrow
Sailin' far away
To find it steal or borrow
But I'll be there someday yea-yea-yeah yea-yea-yea-yeah
Sail away tomorrow
Sailin' far away
To find it steal or borrow
But I'll be there someday yea-yea-yeah yea-yea-yea-yeah
Sail away tomorrow
Sailin' far away
To find it steal or borrow
But I'll be there someday yeah, yeah, yeah, yea-yea-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
