Lyrics
Sail Away
She was born beside the sea
Under a moon of majesty
The wind was low the tide was high
A comet lit the starry sky
She sailed to sea before the wind
As the sky it slowly dimmed
Said when we saw the albatross
She?d be seein? the Southern Cross
In the spring when the dogwoods bloom
She would be in far Rangoon
While we stride the blood red clay
She?d ride the sea in Hudson bay
Sail away from Caroline
To sail the cobalt water glades
Sail away from Caroline
Smell the salt and ride the waves
Sail away from Caroline
Golden days and golden rays
She?s been gone now so many years
Sent a picture from old Algiers
She?s standin?on the burnin? sand
Her hair is blowin? in the wind
Letter said she?d seen the Taj Mahal
And that she might be home this fall
Sail on back to Caroline
You?ve sailed the cobalt water glades
Sail on back to Caroline
Smelled the salt and rode the waves
Sail on back to Caroline
Golden days and golden rays
