Lyrics
Sail away
Sail away all you Sailors
All of those friends and lovers will be waiting for you to come home
from the sea
Fly away all you Soldiers of fortune
But fortune is not what you seek today
Fortune is not what you seek here today
Stow away
Stow away all your sorrow
Time will pass shortly, the crosswinds are blowing in favor of
you today
Your life is in the hands of the unworthy
but your heart is with the ones you left behind
So sail away
Sail away all you Sailors
All those lovely ladies will be waiting for you to come home from
the sea
Fly away
All you Soldiers of fortune
But fortune is not what you seek here today
Fortune is not what you seek here today
