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 that pot of gold But we'll try, the 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, baby Come, sail away, come, sail away, come, sail away with me I thought that they were angels, but, to my surprise They 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 Come, sail away, come, sail away, come, sail away with me Come, sail away, come, sail away, come, sail away with me
