Intro – Come Sail Away
[Intro] (spoken / time = 1:40)
You know people always ask me why I still live in this city. Seems half the population took the bus to Hollywood. I just smile at them and say "Baby, I like the weather". Maybe it's courage, maybe it's fear. Hell, all my friends are here
Applause
This town is a habit that I can't break. It's the CITY...ON...THE...
MAKE
When I grew up in Roseland, and I had this wacky dream living in a two-flat, that some day I would be in a big famous rock-n-roll band. That's, that's an impossible dream. Can't happen, can't come true. Guess what happened, came true. People ask me "what's the secret to all that?" "how does that happen?" and I don't know. All I know is you gotta work your ass off. There's no substitute for it. If there was, Id've figured it out years ago. And the two things I've realized after all this time is, number one, find love. If you do, cherish it and hold onto it, keep it close to ya. And number two, and I believe this, winners are just losers who got up and gave it one more try
Applause
[Verse 1]
I'm sailing away
Set an open course for the Virgin Sea
'Cause I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board I'm the captain, so climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord I'll try to carry on
[Verse 2]
I look to the sea
Reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends, and the dreams we had
We lived happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on the pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can, to carry on
[Pre-Chorus]
A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me a song of hope, and this is what they said
[Chorus]
They said: Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me lads
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me baby
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship, we headed for the skies
[Chorus]
Singing come sail away, come sail away, come sail with me lads
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
