Sail Away Music & Lyrics Chris James C2012

A long time ago when you left your home

To travel the world by sea

A captian aboard a sailing ship

Bound for trade and prosperity

Sail away my love, sail away my love

Over the ocean and sea

No longer I see your smiling face

But your voice is still calling me

Many a load was on you well bestowed

A trust which was seldom betrayed

And with all of the gold that was bought and was sold

Many fortunes where soon to be made

Sail away my love, sail away my love

Over the ocean and sea

No longer I see your smiling face

But your voice is still calling me

On a cold winters dawn after two days of storm

With sails of frayed and torn

The ship ran aground

The captain he did drown

His lady wore black to mourn

Sail away my love, sail away my love

Over the ocean and sea

No longer I see your smiling face

But your voice is still calling me
