Sailing

Christopher Cross
1979! Songs of the Year

Well, it's not far down to paradiseAt least it's not for meAnd if the wind is right, you can sail awayFind tranquility

Oh, the canvas can do miraclesJust you wait and seeBelieve me

It's not far to Never-NeverlandReason to pretendIf the wind is right, you can find the joyOf innocence again

Oh, the canvas can do miraclesJust you wait and seeBelieve me

Sailing takes me awayTo where I've always heard it could beJust a dream and the wind to carry meSoon I will be free

FantasyIt gets the best of meWhen I'm sailingAll caught up in the reverieEvery word is a symphonyWon't you believe me?

Sailing takes me awayTo where I've always heard it could beJust a dream and the wind to carry meSoon I will be free

Well, it's not far back to sanityAt least it's not for meIf the wind is right, you can sail awayAnd find serenity

Oh, the canvas can do miraclesJust you wait and seeBaby, believe me

Sailing takes me awayTo where I've always heard it could beJust a dream and the wind to carry meSoon I will be free
