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
