"Sail Away" lyrics

"Sail Away"

Across the bay a lady waits to hold me tight
And my boat and I are ready to set sail
If the weather keeps on holdin' and the wind is right
I'll be wrapped up in my sweet one's arms tonight

And we will sail away
On the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
We'll go to sleep together
With the rockin' of the water
Dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away with me

As I slip across the waves my sails are high and full
My mind is on the one I wait to see
And I dream about an island somewhere in my mind
Where someday I will take her off with me

And we will sail away
On the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
We'll go to sleep together
With the rockin' of the water
Dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away with me

Then a smile comes upon me as I look across the bow
I see the lady on the side
But she will wait no more as I head towards the shore
'Cause tonight I'm gonna take her for a ride
