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 .. lad
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
(keyboard, break)
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 away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me (rpt to end)

I was just recording a cover of this (davemcginn2.dmusic.com), and the
chords I found on this site are a little wrong, so I just copied the
lyrics and stuff from the other version and made the few changes to the
chords. Sounds better, I think. I threw in the little intro riff thing
that's played on piano, too.Enjoy!
