Or is it just remains from vibrations and echoes long ago? I just wanna know about, the grooves behind your minds.ĭo I see a vacuum there, or am I going blind? I heard some of you got your families, living in cages tall & cold.Īnd some just stay there and dust away, past the age of old. I just wanna know about your different lives, on this here people farm. ( I think this is actually written to be from an aliens point of view.wanting to talk with us!) This song is really laid back and jazzy and I don't think i'll ever get sick of listening to it. My favourite ET song by my favourite musician. My best friend thinks I'm just telling lies I wish someone would tell me what was rightīeen best friends and will be till we die Sailing away, with you now, with you now.Hey mom there's something in the backroom Looking at the girls, listening to the girlsĭreaming of a new world, dreaming of that new world Underneath the red lights, I am watching where the shadows fall Sailing away, with you tonight, with you tonight Reading out the names of all the places I have never beenĭreaming of a wide world, dreaming of the wide world Watching all the ships as they are heading for the harbour wallĭreaming of the wide world, dreaming of the wide world The pilgrims set their feet on virgin land The lookout searching for the distant shore They're sailing off towards the promised land They're sailing to a better place to dwell They check the food and water's all on board Then we can go fishin' in my little red boatĮditor's note: Isn't it amazing how uncomplicated lyrics were in the '60s? Soon I'm gonna have to get my knife and cut that rope, cut that rope

Since they tell me I can't sell no stripers More and more miles from shore every year They say these waters aren't what they used to beīut I've got people back on land who count on meĪnd if you work with the rod and the reel

I know there's fish out there but where God only knows I've got bills to pay and children who need clothes There are giants out there in the canyons Too proud to leave I worked my fingers to the bone Like all the locals here I've had to sell my home We took on diesel back in Montauk yesterdayĪnd left this morning from the bell in Gardiner's Bay One of the quintessential sailing songs of all time.Īnd I'm cruising through Block Island Sound Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see. And if the wind is right you can sail away
