Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, it's not far down to paradise

At least it's not for me

And when the wind is right, you can sail away

And find tranquility

[Verse 2]

Oh, the canvas can do miracles

Just you wait and see

Believe in me, oh

[Verse 3]

It's not far to never never land

No reason to pretend

And if the wind is right, you can find the joy

Of innocence again

[Verse 4]

Oh, the canvas can do miracles

Just you wait and see

Believe in me

[Verse 5]

Sailing takes me away

To where I've always heard it could be

Just a dream and the wind to carry me

Soon I will be free, yeah, oh

[Verse 6]

Fantasy, it gets the best of me

When I'm sailing, oh

All caught up in the reverie

Every word is a symphony

Won't you believe in me?

[Verse 7]

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Sailing takes me away

To where I've always heard it could be

Just a dream and the wind to carry me

And soon I will be free, yeah

[Verse 8]

Ooh, oh, it's not far back to sanity

At least it's not for me

And if the wind is right, you can sail away

And find serenity

[Verse 9]

Oh, the canvas can do miracles

Just you wait and see

Believe in me

[Verse 10]

Oh, sailing takes me away

To where I've always heard it could be, oh

Just a dream and the wind to carry me

And soon I will be free

[Verse 11]

Well, I'm sailing, sailing

Sailing takes me away
