sail away

so many years ago but i remember

a distant sunset on the open sea

fascinated by the sailing ships

on a crimson shore that seemed to call out to me

i still can feel the hope that fills my heart

i still can taste the ocean breeze

as i sail away to the farthest reaches

follow the sun to the white sand beaches

i only know what the west wind teaches

won't you sail away with me

made a wish upon a falling star

never thought that we would get this far

i won't be lonely you can be my only

won't you sail away with me

for a while i almost gave up dreaming

but still this image stayed alive in my soul

while i was working trying to make a living

my so-called life was spinning out of control

summer wind was blowing through my head

the endless current of my dreams

as i sail away to the farthest reaches

follow the sun to the white sand beaches

i only know what the west wind teaches

won't you sail away with me

sail away to a land without time

drink my water from a shell that i find

i won't be lonely you can be my only

won't you sail away with me

oh

let me take you there to another land

don't expect the world to understand

we can sail away while we still have time

there's a million places that i have in mind

as we cast our fate to the open sea

sail away with me

made a wish upon a falling star

never thought that we would get this far

try and imagine how our life would be

if you could sail away with me

sail away

sail away
