Sail Away Sweet Sister

Written by Brian May



(To the sister I never had)



Hey little babe you're changing

Babe are you feeling sore ?

It ain't no use in pretending

You don't wanna play no more



It's plain that you ain't no baby

What would your mother say

You're all dressed up like a lady

How come you behave this way, yeah



Sail away sweet sister

Sail across the sea

Maybe you find somebody

To love you half as much as me

My heart is always with you

No matter what you do

Sail away sweet sister

I'll always be in love with you



Forgive me for what I told you

My heart makes a fool of me

Ooh, you know I'll never hold you

I know that you gotta be free, yeah



Sail away sweet sister

Sail across the sea

Maybe you find somebody

To love you half as much as me

Take it the way you want it

But when they let you down my friend

Sail away sweet sister

Back to my arms again



Hot child don't you know you're young -

You got your whole life ahead of you

And you can throw it away too soon

Way too soon, aah yeah



Sail away sweet sister

Sail across the sea

Maybe you find somebody

Gonna love you half as much as me - yeah

My heart is always with you

No matter what you do

Sail away sweet sister

I'll always be in love with you

Aaha
