Sail Away by Little Angels Lyrics

December morning when the ship came sailing in
The sailor boys with all their noise had come around again
She stood on the quayside, she was looking for a friend
He had caught her eye and now she'll try
To make him come her way (come her way)

So long, goodbye, nice to know you baby but it's time to fly
He laughed as she cried and watched her dreams sail away

Had one just like her on a far off Eastern shore
And every town, that he'd sailed round was like the one before
And though he said he loved her, his words were like his heart
They were empty as a summer stream that dries up oh so hard
(oh so hard)
So long, goodbye, nice to know you baby but it's time to fly
He laughed as she cried and watched her dreams sail away

Sail away, sail away
Sail away, sail away
Oh sail away again, away again
Every day somebody sails away
Cried when he heft her, but she never knew his name
Just a night of love to pass like ships and never meet again
She can't hold the tears, but she knows that one day
He will come around (come around again)

So long, goodbye, nice to know you baby but it's time to fly
He laughed as she cried and watched her dreams sail away
She watched her dreams sail away
