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
