Lyrics

Did you get my song?
I wrote it on a note
Made it up into a paper boat
And sent it down the stream

To the alabaster cliffs
Of your legs just dangling in the water
A ruby cherry on your lips
When it docks between your toes

Sail away
Sail away
Go on and
Sail away
On a song

You climbed aboard and traveled
Oh how a song can carry
You down so many turns and very
Far away from me

So I wrote you many more
By now I’ve launched a fleet to find you
A thousand vessels to remind you
Of the kind of love you leave

One by one I send them out
But they only ever go one way
Maybe I’ll write one for me
And we’ll meet one happy day
