Dolly Parton - Sail Away Lyrics

Dolly Parton Lyrics

"Sail Away"

It's my tears that fill this ocean
And my sorrow rocks these waves
'Cause my true love took the notion
To take my heart and sail away

Sail away, he sailed away
Promised he'd be back one day
Left me crying in his wake
Sailors, they sail away
He sailed away, he sailed away

Mothers warn your sweet young daughters
Pure of heart and fair of face
Sparkling eyes like sun on water
Tell them "Sailors sail away"

Sail away, they sail away
Promise they'll return one day
Some will do just as they say
But mostly they just sail away
They sail away, they sail away
Sailors they sail away

A sailor's true love is the sea
They give what's left to you and me
And yet we love them anyway
Knowing they
Will sail away
Sailors they just sail away

Sail away, they sail away
They sail away, they sail away
They sail away, they sail away
They sail away, they sail away
