Sailing Away

Sailing away on the wings of the mist I Gazed at the stars and I found my way Failing to make ends meet in Cork I Tried my luck from a western bay. The wind felt good as I set me sails For far fetched hopes beyond the horizon And the ocean splashed and the land slipped by I burned my burning memories aye 'Twas early in the morning, past mourning my life and my once so beloved wife Never ending beginnings, here I reach out to you with the morning stars Take me for all I'm worth and if I happen to stumble don't let me down And if I happen to go astray, I trust you'll appear to me and come to light my way You'll come to light my way You'll come to light my way You'll come to light my way The froth on the deck was caressing my heart And my eyes kept licking on the far horizon I finally made out the crying signs That burned my flesh and urged me to go on You see I never really cared for never-ending stories But here I am on my way again No longer afraid of the power and the glory Who knows what I'm worth? Back in Cork in famine I could hardly tell But I know if I go astray, you'll appear to me again to light my way Will come to light my way You'll come to light my way You'll come to light my way I trust you'll appear to me and light my way I'm sailing away I'm sailing away Come and light my way And I'm sailing away Come and light my way Come and light my way Come to light my way.
