Sail Away
I’m walking on the strand
The sand shifts e’er beneath my feet
And runs out of my hands
The red bleeds now upon the brine
I’ve walked the night away
A distant bird calls out a name
My heart cries out today.
No more the fears of yester years
Or the memories of a day.
Sail away, sail away
My soul rises free and carries me
Like a bird out of the Bay.
My soul rises free and carries me
Like a bird out of the Bay.
Her eyes spring from the early mist
Her voice is on the wind
Her laughter rings within my heart
And tells me where I’ve been.
For she lies now beneath the waves
Of Fundy’s ancient swell
And I stand here upon the strand
To toll the midnight bell.
No more the fears of yesteryears
Or the memories of a day
Sail away, sail away
My soul rises free and carries me
Like a bird out of the Bay
My soul rises free and carries me
Like a bird out of the Bay
And if life calls to let you go
My back against the wall
I turn my face
Unto life’s grace
To find you
Where you call.
May you fly so high,
Tthe worlds you see
Bring magic every day
May life’s love lines
All intertwined
Light your smiling eyes to say
Sail away, sail away
No more the fears of yesteryears
Or the memories of a day
Sail away
Sail away
My soul rises free and carries me
Like a bird out of the Bay
Sail away, sail away
I cast my heart upon the Bay
That carries me to see
My soul rises free and carries me
Like a bird out of the Bay
