I rolled and tossed all night
On a sea of battered dreams
My spirit longed for flight
To sail off on the wind

Been caught up in a chain
Of emails and deadlines
Pressure, stress and strain
Those petty thieves of time

Is that how it’s meant to be?
Oh for a timeless day
I’ll head down to the sea
And simply swiftly
Sail away
(On the wind)
Sail away
(On the wind)

The sun shining bright
The sea riding high
I’ll cruise off like a kite
Across a clear blue sky

BRIDGE
Now darling don’t you hold me back
Just let me slip away
On this horizon tack
On this clear timeless day

Sail away
Sail away
Sail Away

SOLO

I rolled and tossed all night
On a sea of battered dreams
My spirit longed for flight
To sail off on the wind

Sail Away
(On the wind)
Sail away
(On the wind)
