Come Sail Away

Virgin Suicides


I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea 
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 live happily forever, so the story goes 
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold 
But we'll try 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 
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 
Singing come sail away, come sail away 
Come sail away with me 
Come sail away, come sail away 
Come sail away with me
