Sail to you I sail to you Now there is this place With so much space It's at the bottom of the world So it lay unspoiled Wind and rain, hurricane And the black man reigned Till the white man came

Lying beside you, here in the dark Feeling your heartbeat with mine Softly you whisper, you're so sincere How could our love be so blind We sailed on together We drifted apart And here you are, by my side So now I come to you with open arms

So when the waves come rolling in Then I won't turn the tide And in the line of fire You'll set me aside So go on Richard let go On our last trip to the coast We watched the boats sail the sea "How effortlessly they float" You turned and said to me

Don't you hear my call though you're many years away Don't you hear me calling you In the land that our grandchildren knew In the year of '39 assembled here the volunteers In the days when lands were few Here the ship sailed out into the blue and sunny

Catch the wind, see us spin But the wind won't blow You really shouldn't go That you will be mine By takin' our time, ooh Sail away, leave today Way up high in the sky, hey whoa Only goes to show And if I say to you tomorrow

Got a strange magic Oh, it's a strange magic Strange magic Oh, what a strange magic I get a strange magic You're sailing softly through the sun In a broken stone age dawn You fly so high You're walking meadows in my mind

Catch the wind, see us spin But the wind won't blow You really shouldn't go That you will be mine By takin' our time, ooh Sail away, leave today Way up high in the sky, hey whoa Only goes to show And if I say to you tomorrow

And my mind feels clearer several years on And the ship that was sailing on Those storm ridden seas Was my heart and your words gave me heart back to me And the boat sails on like you sang in your song You sent me the ship that I sail on today Through

Don't leave no smell on me I'll be that person 'till my dying day I try so awful hard but I can't change My cold, cold sailor heart says, "Get on your way." I ain't too proud to say it but that's how I'm made From runways to the road I ramble alone This

I have journeyed endless nights Seen many harbors where I took rest a while On this boat court near and far To be what you must you must give up what you are Only on a wind of hope my heart sailed Craving mystic oceans to arrive Those who do not leave
