Sail Away |
I climbed the hill, lay in the grass |
A little dark-eyed girl drifted past |
She said all the best is come, it could not last |
And the worst, it has come true |
Her hands are small and fluttered up |
I lay amongst the buttercups |
I pulled on my coat and buttoned it up |
For the worst, it had come true |
Sail away, sail away |
To a place where your troubles can’t follow |
Sail away, sail away |
Save all your tears for tomorrow |
Orphans of the city moved toward us |
And the swallows swooped and the starlings warned us |
And the peril in everything |
It assured us that the worst had come true |
And all my sorrows made their bed beside me |
The shame, the disgrace and the brutality |
And she whispered then «Let laughter flee.» |
For the worst, it has come true |
Dry your tears, forget while we’re here |
Leave all your sorrows behind you |
Never lose heart, all things will pass |
To a place where your troubles can’t find you |
She came beside me amongst my coat |
Her breath was warm against my throat |
We clung to each other so very close |
For the worst, it had come true |
Sail away, sail away |
To a place where your heart will not shame you |
Take my hand through this night without end |
For the worst, it has come to claim you |
Sail away, sail away |
To a place where no one can betray you |
Take my hand through this night without end |
For the worst, it has come to claim you |
