 I took her out of her  world  and put her into mine
 I took away what she  knew,  had treasured over time
 Let’s sail away,  baby
 I can’t  explain what I see
 Let’s sail away,  baby
 Please  try and follow me
 I took her out of her  home,  a cabin near the woods
 And took her to this desert  with threatening neighbourhoods
 Well I believe,  baby
 I thought  it was better for us
 Yes I believe,  baby
 There was gold  in that dust
 And now I see,  baby
 I put distance  into your own life
 Let’s sail away,  baby
 Let’s sail  into this life
 She drove a Golf white diesel,  she drove me through the streets
 She took me into her world  of parks and wooden seats
 And I remember,  baby
 I remember  it all
 Yes I remember,  baby
 I remember  it all
 Let’s sail away,  baby
 I thought  it was better for us
 And I believe,  baby
 I believe  in us
