This is just the way it's meant to be Sail away, sail away They're flying, they're styling, the President is smiling, We're loosin', it's confusin', we're beggin', they're refusin' Can't replace it, erase it, come back to hell and face it Without lying,

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

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

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

It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose And you, and your sweet desire It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose You took me higher and higher, baby Sailin' away on the crest of a wave It's like magic Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin'

My heart retires far early Away these foreign lands She's a gentle bell, she's a cat eye A gold breath on a wire A sing soft sail in the other room A red hot cleansing fire My cold feet warm in a straight line Dancing Spanish Hands She's a yellow girl,

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

The people turned away Down by the seaside See the boats go sailin' Can the people hear What the little fish are sayin' Oh, oh, the people turned away Oh, the people turned away Down in the city streets, See all the folk go racin', racin'

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave It's like magic Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin' And you, and your sweet desire, You took me, higher and higher It's a livin' thing,

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
