(Guitar intro)
Eh, do you reme-ember standing on the sho-o-ore
Your head in the clouds, your pockets filled with dreams?
Eh, bound for glory on the seven seas of li-ife,
But the ocean is deeper than it seems...
Eh, the wind was with you when you left on the morning tide -
You set your sail for an Island In The Sun.
Eh, on the horizon dark clouds up ahead,
Eh, for the storm has just begu-u-un.
{Take me wi-ith you, take me far away,
An' lead me to the distant} sho-o-ore (sho-re)!
Sail your ship acro-oss the wa-a-ater,
{Spread your wings acro-oss the ska-a-ay},
Take the time to see-ee -
{You뭨e the one who holds the key} -
Or sailing ships will pa-ass you ba-a-ay...
(Guitar interlude)
Eh, you cry for mercy when you think you뭭e lost your way,
You drift alone if all your hope is gone,
Eh, and find the strength then you-u will see
That you control your destini-y
After all is said and do-o-one.
{So take me wi-ith you, take me far away,
An' lead me to the distant} sho-o-ore (sho-re)!
Sail your ship acro-oss the wa-a-ater,
{Spread your wings acro-oss the ska-a-ay},
Take the time to see-ee -
{You뭨e the one who holds the ke-ey -
Or sailing ships will pass,
Sailing ships will pass you-u,
Sailing ships will pass you by-!}
(Guitar hard bridge)
{Take me with you-u-u-u, take me far awa-i-a-a-ay},
We뭠l ride the wind across the ska-a-a-a-ay!
{Spread your wings and you will see-ee -
You control your destini-y} -
So sailing ships don뭪 pass you ba-a-a-ay!}
(Guitar solo)
So {take me with you-u-u-u, take me far awa-i-a-a-ay},
We뭠l ride the wind across the ska-a-a-a-a-ay!
{Spread your wings and you will see-ee -
You control your destini-y},
So sailing ships don뭪 pa-ass,
{Sailing ships don뭪 pass you-u},
Sailing ships don뭪 pass you {by-!} -ah-ah-ah-ay!
Baby, baby, baby, ba-a-a-a-aby!
You뭠l find that you뭨e the only o-one
Can sail your ship across the-e ska-y!
