I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea Cause 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 (oh Lord, I'll try) 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 Let's come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me baby Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise We climbed aboard their starship, we headed for the skies Singing come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Let's come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me
