I'm sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea
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 every 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 live happily forever so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can to carry on

gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said
They [bad word] sail [bad word] sail away [bad word] sail away with me [bad word] sail [bad word] sail away [bad word] sail away with me

I thought that they were angels but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
 [bad word] sail [bad word] sail away [bad word] sail away with me [bad word] sail [bad word] sail away [bad word] sail away with me
