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 (sail away) 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) made a wish upon a falling star (Sail away) never thought that we would get this far (sail away) 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 (sail away) 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) 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 (sail away) 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 (Sail away) 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 --- Sail Away - Van Dyke Parks and Brian Wilson
