Gonna hitch a ride Head for the other side Leave it all behind Never change my mind Gonna sail away Sun lights another day Freedom on my mind Carry me away for the last time Day is night in New York City

(Better save the women and children first) Or could this be love? You know that magic often does And I see lonely ships upon the water Sail away with someone's daughter Yea, yea, one, two, one, two, three, four Out upon the islands on a cool summer night

Sail away tomorrow Sailin' far away To find it steal or borrow But I'll be there someday, yeah Time will show When, I don't know If you're driftin' on an empty ocean With no wind to fill your sail The future, your horizon

Girl, don't go away mad Girl, just go away That's alright, that's okay We were walkin' through some youth We could sail away Or catch a freight train Or a rocket ship into outer space Nothin' left to do Too many things were said

Sail me away to a distant shore, where every thing's fine A thousand years, one day for every life Just keep on going, we'll find you a home underground, in a thousand years Day after day, I feel myself slowing down, what does it mean? The air has

Sailing away, beyond the reach of anyone Far beyond the dreams of everyone No light to follow A shot in the dark Does anybody know? High from the heavens I can't see the pain Does anybody care? Our truth is painted across the sky

Islands in the stream That is what we are No one in between How can we be wrong Sail away with me To another world Baby when I met you there was peace unknown I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb I was soft inside

That girl is long gone Boy you missed the boat, it just sailed away She's not drowning in her yesterdays Betcha never thought I'd be that strong Well this girl is long gone This girl is long gone, long gone It's so like you just to show up at my door And
