Sailing Away Lyrics

I did not know how

I could ever start again

At first I longed for you

Wanted to do it all over again

Then came the anger

Why did you have to make me feel that way

Wouldn't it be better

If I could that time away

Sailing away

Like we did that day

When we were kings and queens in our domain

Sailing away

Like we did that day

When the sky was blue and the earth was true

And he was here

And you were simply you

Just you

As time went on

And I sunk deep into the bottle

Angry in the knowledge

That life just can't be fair

How does a boy grow up

And face his future

And tell his children

That hope is in the air

Sailing away

Like we did that day

When we were kings and queens in our domain

Sailing away

Like we did that day

When the sky was blue and the earth was true

And he was here

And you were simply you

Just you

I look to this boy at my side

An echo of an echo of an echo

His eyes are soft like yours

Like hers

Back home

I want to keep him safe

Give something of myself to them

I nod my head to you

Thank you and goodbye

Sailing away

Like we did that day

When we were kings and queens in our domain

Sailing away

Like we did that day

When the sky was blue and the earth was true

And he was here

And you were simply you

Just you

Just you

Hmm

Ah

Ah
