SAIL AWAY
Music & Lyrics by Greg Harper
I waken to the sound of the halyards
Jangling in the breeze
As the water's gently lapping
Against the hull
The birds in the sky
Are wheeling
And singing down to me
As the tide slowly
Turns me around
The early morning mist
Dances on the swell of the tide
It's with a lighter heart
That I set sail for sea
It's a journey
A mystery
Nature's own sweet ride
A journey I want you
To share with me
So sail away with me won't you
Together we can catch the morning tide
So sail away with me won't you
Together forever side by side
The horizon lies green
Against the grey of the sky
And my troubles all drift away
Behind me
It's the ever-changing vistas
That are so
Pleasing to the eye
And the space that shrouds
All sense of time
So sail away with me won't you
Together we can catch the morning tide
So sail away with me won't you
Together forever side by side
Though storm and tempest we may find
Our way will still be true
A calmness found within our love
To guide us
Just like the tides
Life's trials
Will still ebb and flow
But together my love
We'll sail straight through
So sail away with me won't you
Together we can catch the morning tide
So sail away with me won't you
Together forever side by side
As the fiery ball of Zeus is doused
Into Poseidon's grasp
And the sky's ablaze with beauty
And with fire
Into my loving arms
You fall
And I will keep you safe
Till the sun's risin'
Into the sky once more
So sail away with me won't you
Together we can catch the morning tide
So sail away with me won't you
Together forever side by side
We fall asleep to the sound of the halyards
Jangling in the breeze
