| Across the bay a lady waits to hold me tight
|
| And my boat and I are ready to set sail
|
| If the weather keeps on holdin' and the wind is right
|
| I’ll be wrapped up in my sweet one’s arms tonight
|
| And we will sail away
|
| On the wings of love into the night
|
| Cast out our fortunes on the sea
|
| We’ll go to sleep together
|
| With the rockin' of the water
|
| Dream of how our life will someday be
|
| When she sails away with me
|
| As I slip across the waves my sails are high and full
|
| My mind is on the one I wait to see
|
| And I dream about an island somewhere in my mind
|
| Where someday I will take her off with me
|
| And we will sail away
|
| On the wings of love into the night
|
| Cast out our fortunes on the sea
|
| We’ll go to sleep together
|
| With the rockin' of the water
|
| Dream of how our life will someday be
|
| When she sails away with me
|
| Then a smile comes upon me as I look across the bow;
|
| I see the lady on the side
|
| But she will wait no more as I head towards the shore
|
| 'Cause tonight I’m gonna take her for a ride |
