July: Come Sail Away

from MMXXI by Buck AE Down

/

about

I always include one cover on every record. At this point, Biden’s national vaccine program had at least made it so that we could get together with other people in smaller groups without potentially killing each other with COVID, and approximate something that had at least the recognizable contours of the Before Time. 4th of July was coming up - and for a minute there - it seemed like we might be finally getting out of the woods. I wanted to make something that sounded like we were finally letting ourselves have fun again. This also features contributions fro CornMo and RootHub.

lyrics

I'm sailing away
Set an open course for the Virgin Sea
'Cause I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me
On board I'm the captain
So climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow
On every shore and I'll try
Oh Lord I'll try
To carry on

I look to the sea
Reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever
So the story goes
But somehow we missed out
On that pot of gold
But we'll try best that we can
To carry on

A gathering of angels
Appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope
And this is what they said
They said, come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me (lads)
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me (baby)
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels
But to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship
We headed for the skies
Singing, come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me (lads)
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
