Sail Away Songtext

I climbed the hill, lay in the grassA little dark-eyes girl drifted pastShe said, ?All the best has come, it could not lastAnd the worst is has come true? Her hands were small and fluttered upA lamb amongst the buttercupsI pulled on my coat and buttoned it upFor the worst it had come trueSail away, sail awayTo a place where your troubles can?t followSail away, sail awaySave all your tears for tomorrowThe fins of the city moved toward usAnd the swallows swooped and the starlings warned usAnd the peril in everything is assured usThat the worst it had come trueAnd all my sorrows made their bed beside meThe shame, the disgrace and the brutalityAnd she whispered then, ?Let laughter fleeFor the worst it has come true? Dry your tears, forget why we?re hereLeave all your sorrows behind youNever lose heart, all things must passTo a place where your troubles can?t find youShe came beside me, amongst my coatHer breath was warm against my throatWe clung to each other so very closeFor the worst it had come trueSail away, sail awayTo a place where your heart will not shame youTake my hand, through this night without endFor the worst it has come to claim youSail away, sail awayTo a place where no one can betray youTake my hand, through this night without endFor the worst it has come to claim you
