I'm so far away from home,...

let's sail away past the noise of the bay
let's sail away past the birth and death of the day
let's sail away to where the blues and greens swirl into gray

let's sail away past the cradle of these waves
let's sail away past the tide and its slow decay
let's sail away to where the water goes-some endless open space

take only what you need, and leave the rest behind
don't be afraid of where we'll go,
i promise you will be fine.

let's sail away past the reflections of the light
let's sail away floating weightless through the night
let's sail away like a photograph, fading to all white
it's finally all right

let's sail away disappearing in a mist
let's sail away with a whisper and a . . .
