INTRO
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 lived happily forever, so the story goes.
But somehow we missed out on the pot of gold.
But we'll try, best that we can,
to carry on!

"Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me, lads.

Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me.

SOLO BRIDGE

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
we climbed aboard their starship, we headed for the skies, singing,
"Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me, lads,
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me."
etc.
