Sail Away (on the Wind)

I rolled and tossed all night on a sea of battered dreams

My spirit longed for flight, to sail off on the wind

 

Been caught up in a chain of emails + deadlines

Pressure, stress + strain, those petty thieves of time

 

Is that how it’s meant to be?

Oh for a timeless day

I’d head down to the sea and simply swiftly

Sail away

(On the wind)

Sail away

(On the wind)

 

The sun shining bright – the sea riding high

I’ll cruise off like a kite across a clear blue sky

 

Now darling don’t you hold me back

Just let me slip away

On this horizon tack

On this clear timeless day

 

Sail away

Sail away

Sail Away

 

SOLO

 

I rolled and tossed all night on a sea of battered dreams

My spirit longed for flight, to sail off on the wind

 

Sail Away

(On the wind)

Sail away

(On the wind)
