When a sailor goes to sea,
though he leaves his love behind,
time and tide will set him free
from the grief inside him.
Sea and sky will ease his heart,
regulate his troubled mind.
Every sailor has a chart and a star
to guide him home.
When the storm clouds
are riding through a winter sky,
Sail away, sail away.
When the love light is fading
in your sweet heart's eye,
Sail away, sail away.
When you feel your song
is orchestrated wrong,
Why should you prolong your stay
When the wind and the weather
blow your dreams high, high?
Sail away, sail away,
sail away
Love is meant to make us glad
Love can make the world go round
Love can drive you raving mad,
Torment and upset you.
Love can give your heart a jolt,
But philosophers have found
That it's wise to do a boat
When it starts to get down.
When your life seems too difficult
to rise above,
Sail away, sail away,
when your heart feels as dreary
as a worn -out glove.
Sail away, sail away,
but when soon or late,
you recognize your fate,
that will be a great, great day.
On the wings of the morning,
with your own true love,
sail away, sail away,
sail away.
When you feel your sun is
orchestrated wrong,
why should you prolong your stay?
On the wings of the morning,
with your own true love,
sail away, sail away, sail away.
