Sailboats (Album Version) Lyrics
Sailboats wish that they were stars,
Floating softly in the sky
Among our dreams that pay goodbyeMoving through transparent space,
Drifting through the stratosphere
And onward 'till they disappearThese continents from overhead
Look like tiny paper shapes
Intricately set in placeBelow the misty mountain clouds
There's a lovely silver bay
Where sunset sailors often hideawayScuba diver in the lock,
Speedboat driver on the dock
Sailplane pilot in the blue take me up there with you
The world looks brighter from this high altitudeI was walking through the trees (Sailboats wish they were stars)
And I was swimming through the seas (Cause they don't know who they are)
I was falling through the air
When it hit me right there
My eyes are tired; I don't even careAn airplane carried me to bed,
Where I slept above the coast
And dreamt I had become a ghostI sail above the frozen peaks,
Deep in cold cathedral caves
Across the hills and far beyond the wavesTake the car on the run
Fly the jet to the sun
And bring the spacecraft
'n soon while I play chess with the moon
I feel like sleeping through this cold afternoonOnce in 1964 (Sailboats wish they were stars)
An actress ran on the shore (Cause they don't know who they are)And though you'll never return,
I love you Audrey Hepburn
Sometimes I can see your face in the crowdThere are sailboats throughout this brilliant sky
But you cannot pick them out if you can't fly
I'm glad the Earth doesn't care
If I go up there
If you want to just ask me and I will take you along
