The twisted wind had caught the embers in the coal
I could feel us getting warmer every day
Hid from the winter in our shelter from the cold
Shut to the world we stowed ourselves away
Til she said
I won't wait for
I won't wait for
I won't wait for you to find what you need
She wouldn't stay for
She wouldn't stay for
She wouldn't stay for me
Sail away, sail away at the end of the day
Rolling red sky and it's anchors aweigh
Sail away, sail away at the end of the day
I'll kiss you goodbye and I'll sail away
♪
The melting ice had made the rivers overflow
The water's getting higher by the day
I built a raft and waited for the wind to blow
I set my sail for distant lands away
And she said
Don't let the rain fall
Don't let the rain fall
Don't let the rain fall til you've got a roof over your head
She let the strains pull
She let the strains pull
She let the strains pull free
Sail away, sail away at the end of the day
Rolling red sky and it's anchors aweigh
Sail away, sail away at the end of the day
I'll kiss you goodbye and I'll sail away
♪
Forward is away because the past is all you know
So past the breaks through the tides and wakes
To get swept in undertow
Into a crimson sky with clouds alight
Our hopes and dreams in tow
And may the albatross lead the way across
The bounding main and foam
Sail away, sail away at the end of the day
Rolling red sky and it's anchors aweigh
Sail away, sail away at the end of the day
I'll kiss you goodbye and I'll sail away
Sail away, sail away at the end of the day
Rolling red sky and it's anchors aweigh
Sail away, sail away at the end of the day
I'll kiss you goodbye and I'll sail away
