Lyrics

Sailing Ships

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.

Do you remember standing on the shore,

With your head in the clouds

And your pockets filled wtih dreams?

Bound for glory, on the seven seas of life

But the ocean is deeper than it seems

The wind was with you

When you left on the morning tide

You set your sail for an island in the sun

On the horizon, dark clouds up ahead,

For the storm has just begun

Take me with you, take me far away,

And lead me to the distant shore

Sail your ship across the water,

Spread your wings across the sky

Take the time to see

You're the one who holds the key

Or sailing ships will pass you by

You cry for mercy

When you think you've lost your way

You drift alone,

If all your hope is gone

But take the time and you will see

That you control your destiny

After all is said and done

So take me with you, take me far away,

An' lead me to the distant shore

Sail your ship across the water,

Spread your wings across the sky

Take the time to see

You're the one who holds the key

Or sailing ships will pass,

Sailing ships will pass you

Sailing ships will pass you by

So take me with you, take me far away,

We'll ride the wind across the sky

Spread your wings and you will see

You control your destiny

So sailing ships don't pass you by

So take me with you, take me far away,

We'll ride the wind across the sky

Spread your wings and you will see

You control your destiny

So sailing ships don't pass

So sailing ships don't pass you

Sailing ships don't pass you by

Baby, baby. baby baby

You'll find that you're the only one 'who

Can sail your ship across the sky
