Sail Away (Ace Of Clubs)

«This is the story of a ship»
(Noël Coward opening narration
of his classic 1942 patriotic film «In Which We Serve»
based on the World War II naval actions
of Captain Lord Louis Mountbatten
and the sinking of the HMS Kelly
during the Battle of Crete)
When the storm clouds are riding
through a winter sky
Sail away, sail away
When the lovelight is fading
in your sweetheart’s eye
Sail away, sail away
When you feel your song
is orchestrated wrong
Why should you prolong your stay?
When the wind and the weather
blow your dreams sky high
Sail away, sail away, sail away
When your life seems to difficult
to rise above
Sail away, sail away
When your heart feels as dreary
as a worn-out glove
Sail away, sail away
But when soon or late
you recognise your fate
That will be your great, great day
On the wings of the morning
with your own true love
Sail away, sail away, sail away
