Sail Away

Raising sails on my Mary McClyde,

Watching the shores I am leaving behind,

Towards the stars and the horizon combined,

It's only her now I can trust.

Raising sails on my Mary McClyde,

Watching the shores I am leaving behind,

I wonder how could this be?

Or is it only me?

I'll tell you 'bout my queen of the seas,

What a fine strong beauty she is,

It's only her now I can trust.

I'll sail away, I'll sail away,

I've got nothing more to say,

I'll sail away, I'll sail away,

I've got no reason left to stay.

Swelling sails of my Mary McClyde,

Where sea and heavens unite,

I wonder what will I see?

Or will it blind me?

Winds grew stronger, stars went black,

She swayed but I won't turn back,

It's only her now I can trust.

I'll sail away, I'll sail away,

I've got nothing more to say,

I'll sail away, I'll sail away,

I've got no reason left to stay.

Swelling sails of my Mary McClyde,

Begged mercy but I've been denied,

I wonder what will it be?

Will she betray me?

At her mercy I stood on deck,

With the rope coiled 'round me neck,

It's only her now I can trust.

I'll sail away, I'll sail away,

I've got nothing more to say,

I'll sail away, I'll sail away,

I've got no reason left to stay.

I'll sail away,

I've got nothing more to say,

I'll sail away, I'll sail away,

I've got no reason left to stay.

I'll sail away, I'll sail away,

I've got nothing more to say,

I'll sail away, I'll sail away,

I've got no reason left to stay.
