Sail away with me honeyLet's take a trip together, my love
I put my heart in your handsI am giving you my love and trust
Sail away with me honey now, now, nowLet's leave right now, without delay
What will be will beThe future is uncertain and we must accept what comes
I want to hold you now, now, nowI desire to feel your embrace instantly
Crazy skies all wild above me nowThe sky is tumultuous and unpredictable
Winter howling at my faceIt's cold and the wind is fierce
And everything I held so dearAll that I cherished has disappeared
Disappeared without a traceI cannot find any remnants of what is gone
Oh all the times I've tasted loveI have had experiences with love before
Never knew quite what I hadBut I did not fully understand or appreciate it
Little darling if you hear me nowMy dear, I hope you are listening to me
Never needed you so badI have never wanted your presence and support more than I do now
Spinning 'round inside my headMy thoughts are swirling and causing confusion
I've been talking drunken gibberishI have been rambling foolishly while under the influence of alcohol
Falling in and out of barsGoing from one bar to another and drinking excessively
Trying to get some explanation hereI am searching for answers to understand why people behave the way they do
For the way some people areTheir behavior is perplexing
How did it ever come so far?I am questioning how situations can escalate to such extremes
It'd break me up if you pulled me down, whoaIt would devastate me if you were to bring me down emotionally
