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 live happily forever
So the story goes
But somehow we missed out
On that 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
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...
I thought that they were angels
But to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship,
We headed for the skies!
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...
