I'm just saying I want my mummy back Lost her to the drink But her soul's intact Mama said to me Be proud of who you are She saw Jesus in the eyes Of a broken man
Sail away I am learning my lesson Mama sends her love And Godspeed you come home soon
One little white lie was enough To conceal my goodbye Then I stole away Kissed her farewell And wished her the best for life Then I stole away, woah Like a thief in the night
I'm just saying Not behind daddy's back He takes care of her In his overtime He's no saint I know As he goes around the town Watch him cry himself to sleep He's my daddy
Sail away I will go it alone now Leave my past behind To seek fortune and fame
One little white lie was enough To conceal my goodbye Then I stole away Kissed her farewell And wished her the best for life Then I stole away, woah Like a thief in the night
Sail away There's a storm in a teacup Mama sends her love And Godspeed you come home
One little white lie was enough To conceal my goodbye Then I stole away Kissed her farewell And wished her the best for life Then I stole away, woah Like a thief in the night
One little white lie was enough To conceal my goodbye Then I stole away Like a prodigal son And wished her the best for life Then I stole away, woah Like a thief in the night
