lyrics

Let’s sail away past the noise of the bay. Let’s sail away past the birth and death of the day. Let’s
sail away to where the blues and greens swirl into gray. Let’s sail away. Let’s sail away past the
cradle of these waves. Let’s sail away past the tide and its slow decay. Let’s sail away to where the
water goes- some endless open space. Let’s sail away. Take only what you need, my love, and
leave the rest behind. Don’t be afraid of where we’ll go, my love, I promise you will be fine. Now
you are the only one that’s mine. Let’s sail away past the reflections of the light. Let’s sail away
floating weightless through the night. Let’s sail away like a photograph, fading to all white. It’s
finally all right. Forget all the mistakes, my love, they won’t be made again. Leave the photos in
the drawer, my love; we no longer need them. We both know where we’ve been. Let’s sail away
disappearing in a mist. Let’s sail away with a whisper and a kiss. Or vanish from a road
somewhere, like Tereza and Tomas, suspended in this bliss.
