Lyrics
I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea, 'cause I've got
to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me, on board I'm the
captain, so climb aboard, we'll search for tomorrow on ev'ry shore, and
I'll try oh lord I'll try to carry on
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'll live
happily forever, so the story goes, but somehow we missed out on a pot of
gold, but we'll try best that we can to carry on
A gathering of angels appeared above my head, they sang to me this song of
hope and this is what they said, they said come sail away, come sail away,
come sail away with me, come sail away, come sail away,
come sail away with me, come sail away, come sail away,
come sail away with me, come sail away, come sail away,
come sail away with me
I thought that they were angels but to my surprise they climbed aboard
their starship and headed for the skies, singin' come sail away, come sail away,
come sail away with me, come sail away, come sail away,
come sail away with me, come sail away, come sail away,
come sail away with me, come sail away, come sail away,
come sail away with me
come sail away....

I was just recording a cover of this (davemcginn2.dmusic.com), and the
chords I found on this site are a little wrong, so I just copied the
lyrics and stuff from the other version and made the few changes to the
chords. Sounds better, I think. I threw in the little intro riff thing
that's played on piano, too.Enjoy!
