You were the ground beneath my feet Stretching as fas as I could see But then you were called to sail And I felt all hope fail
The tide is turning And I'm left yearning Watching you sail away On towards a better day
And now, yes I
Sail on, sail on On a wind of pain Sail on, sail on With no shelter from the rain Sail on, sail on With no light to follow Sail on, sail on On a Sea of Sorrow
Barren waters all around me Stretching as fas as I can see Sailing on with a breath Looking for the black sails of death
The tide is turning And I'm left yearning Watching you sail away On towards a better day
