Lyrics of Sailing

(gavin sutherland, 1972)

I am sailing, i am sailing,
Home again 'cross the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.

I am flying, i am flying,
Like a bird 'cross the sky.
I am flying, passing high clouds,
To be near you, to be free.

Can you hear me, can you hear me
Thro' the dark night, far away,
I am dying, forever crying,
To be with you, who can say.

Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Thro' the dark night far away.
I am dying, forever crying,
To be with you, who can say.

We are sailing, we are sailing,
Home again 'cross the sea.
We are sailing stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.

Oh lord, to be near you, to be free.
Oh lord, to be near you, to be free,
Oh lord.
