Title: "Sailing"
album: "Endless Sky"
by: Charles T. Pyle
Ships out on the ocean, sailboats on the sea
Someday I'll take a notion and one of those sailors will be me
Now when I go sailing all I hear is the roar
Of a mile of water beneath me and I'm longing for the shore
(Chorus)
Sailing, running before the wind
Ready for a new world to begin
Sailing, I wish I could come with you
Maybe someday I'll come sailing too
I drive to favorite places the same way every time
The same familiar faces assure me I'm just fine
But you my love are brave in your slicker and your semaphore
Ready for ocean waves while I'm watching from the shore
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Maybe my heart’s an ocean of tears
So big I may never return
Maybe my boat's not strong enough
For when the ocean rolls and churns
(Instrumental)
I still fear the ocean though it brings you back to me
I feel a forward motion that keeps on pulling me
Out beyond the waves voices implore (voices implore)
Come and find your faith on a far and distant shore
(Chorus)
Sailing, running before the wind
Ready for a new world to begin
Sailing, I wish I'd come with you
Maybe someday I'll come sailing too
Maybe someday I'll come sailing too
