I'm sailing away,
set an open course for the virgin sea
'Cause I've got to be free,
free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board I'm the captain, so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow, on every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try,
to carry on
I look to the sea,
reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad,
I think of childhood friends, and the dreams we had
We lived happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out, on the pot of gold
But we'll try, best that we can,
to carry on
A gathering of angels,
appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope,
and this is what they said, they said
Come sail away, come sail away,
come sail away with me, lads
Come sail away, come sail away,
come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away,
come sail away with me, lads
Come sail away, come sail away,
come sail away with me
I thought that they were angels,
but much to my surprise;
we climbed aboard their starship,
and headed for the skies
Come sail away, come sail away,
come sail away with me, lads
Come sail away, come sail away,
come sail away with me 5x
