Let me sail, let me sail, let the Orinoco flow,
let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli.
Let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore,
let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.

De de, de de,
de de, de de,
de de, de de,
de de, de de,
de de, de de.

Sail away, sail away, sail away,
sail away, sail away, sail away,
sail away, sail away, sail away,
sail away, sail away, sail away...

From Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,
from Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
from Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.

De de, de de,
de de, de de,
de de, de de,
de de, de de,
de de, de de.

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up adieu.
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up adieu.
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up adieu.

Sail away, sail away, sail away,
sail away, sail away, sail away,
sail away, sail away, sail away,
sail away, sail away, sail away...

From the North to the South, Ebudæ unto Khartoum,
from the deep Sea of Clouds to the Island of the Moon,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen.

We can sail, we can sail, with the Orinoco flow
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away...
We can steer, we can near with Rob Dickins at the wheel,
we can sigh, say goodbye Ross and his dependencies.

We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away...
We can reach, we can beach on the shores of Tripoli.
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away...
From Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away...
From Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon.
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away...
We can reach, we can beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away...
From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon.
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away...
We can sail, we can sail, sail away, sail away, sail away,
sail away, sail away, sail away,
sail away, sail away, sail away,
sail away, sail away, sail away,

...so the world goes round and round
with all you ever knew -
They say the sky high above
is Caribbean blue...

...if every man says all he can,
if every man is true,
do I believe the sky above

One day, one night, one moment,
my dreams could be tomorrow.
One step, one fall, one falter,
east or west, over earth or by ocean.
One way to be my journey,
this way could be my Book of Days.

Ó lá go lá, mo thuras,
An bealach fada romham.
Ó oíche go hoíche, mo thuras,
Na scéalta nach mbeidh a choích.

No day, no night, no moment,
can hold me back from trying.
I'll fly, I'll fall, I'll falter,
I'll find my day - maybe far and away.
Far and Away.

One day, one night, one moment,
with a dream to believe in.
One step, one fall, one falter,
found a new earth across a wide ocean.
This way became my journey,
this day ends together, far and away.

This day ends together, far and away.
Far and Away.

I walk the maze of moments
but everywhere I turn to
begins a new beginning
but never finds a finish
I walk to the horizon
and there I find another
it all seems so surprising
and then I find that I know

You go there you're gone forever
I go there I'll lose my way
if we stay here we're not together
Anywhere is

The moon upon the ocean
is swept around in motion
but without ever knowing
the reason for its flowing
in motion on the ocean
the moon still keeps on moving
the waves still keep on waving
and I still keep on going

You go there you're gone forever
I go there I'll lose my way
if we stay here we're not together
Anywhere is

I wonder if the stars sign
the life that is to be mine
and would they let their light shine
enough for me to follow
I look up to the heavens
but night has clouded over
no spark of constellation
no Vela no Orion

The shells upon the warm sands
have taken from their own lands
the echo of their story
but all I hear are low sounds
as pillow words are weaving
and willow waves are leaving
but should I be believing
that I am only dreaming

You go there you're gone forever
I go there I'll lose my way
if we stay here we're not together
Anywhere is

To leave the thread of all time
and let it make a dark line
in hopes that I can still find
the way back to the moment
I took the turn and turned to
begin a new beginning
still looking for the answer
I cannot find the finish
it's either this or that way
it's one way or the other
It should be one direction
it could be on reflection
the turn I have just taken
the turn that I was making
I might be just beginning
I might be near the end.

When there's a shadow, you reach for the sun.
When there is love, then you look for the one.
And for the promises, there is the sky.
And for the heavens are those who can fly.

If you really want to, you can hear me say.
Only if you want to will you find the way.
If you really want to you can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.

Da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da.

When there's a journey, you follow a star.
When there's an ocean, you sail from afar.
And for the broken heart, there is the sky.
And for tomorrow are those who can fly.

If you really want to, you can hear me say.
Only if you want to will you find the way.
If you really want to you can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.

Da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da-da,
da-da-da-da.

Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.

If you really want to, you can hear me say.
Only if you want to will you find the way.
If you really want to you can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.

Ah! Je voudrai voler comme oiseau d'aile.
Ah! Je voudrai voler comme oiseau d'aile,
d'aile...

Ooh go doe bay mwa.
Ooh go doe bay mwa.

If you really want to, you can hear me say.
Only if you want to will you find the way.
If you really want to you can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.

If you really want to you can seize the day.
Only if you want to will you fly away.

Who can tell me if we have heaven,
who can say the way it should be;
Moonlight holly, the Sappho Comet,
Angel's tears below a tree.

You talk of the break of morning
as you view the new aurora,
Cloud in crimson, the key of heaven,
one love carved in acajou.

One told me of China Roses,
One a thousand nights and one night,
Earth's last picture, the end of evening;
hue of indigo and blue.

A new moon leads me to
woods of dreams and I follow.
A new world waits for me;
my dream, my way.

I know that if I have heaven
there is nothing to desire.
Rain and river, a world of wonder
may be paradise to me.

I see the sun..
I see the stars..
[repeat]

Cá fhad é ó
Cá fhad é ó

Siúl tríd na stoirmeacha.
Dul tríd na stoirmeacha.

Cá fhad é ó
an tús don stoirm.
Cá fhad é ó

Tóg do chroí.
Siúl tríd na stoirmeacha.
Tóg do chroísa.
Dul tríd na stoirmeacha.

Turas mór.
Tor tríd na stoirmeacha.

Turas fada.
Amharc tríd na stoirmeacha.

Suddenly before my eyes
hues of indigo arise.
With them how my spirit sighs
- paint the sky with stars.

Only night will ever know
why the heavens never show.
All the dreams there are to know
- paint the sky with stars.

Who has paced the midnight sky?
So a spirit has to fly,
as the heavens seem so far.
Now who will paint the midnight star?

Night has brought to those who sleep
only dreams they cannot keep.
I have legends in the deep
- paint the sky with stars.

Who has paced the midnight sky?
So a spirit has to fly,
as the heavens seem so far
Now who will paint the midnight star?

Place a name upon the night.
One to set your heart alight.
And to make the darkness bright
- paint the sky with stars.

I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls
with vassels and serfs at my side,
and of all who assembled within those walls
that I was the hope and the pride.
I had riches all too great to count
and a high ancestral name.
But I also dreamt which pleased me most
that you loved me still the same,
that you loved me
you loved me still the same,
that you loved me
you loved me still the same.

I dreamt that suitors sought my hand,
that knights upon bended  knee
and with vows no maiden's heart could withstand,
they pledged their faith to me.
And I dreamt that one of that noble host
came forth my hand to claim.
But I also dreamt which charmed me most
that you loved me still the same,
that you loved me
you loved me still the same,
that you loved me
you loved me still the same.

I have been given
one moment from heaven
as I am walking
surrounded by night,
Stars high above me
make a wish under moonlight.

On my way home
I remember
only good days.
I'm on my way home
I can remember
every new day.

I move in silence
with each step taken,
snow falling round me
like angels in flight,
Far in the distance
Is my wish under moonlight.

On my way home
I remember
only good days.
On my way home
I remember all the best days.
I'm on my way home
I can remember
every new day.

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up.
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up, up.

On my way home
I remember
only good days.

On my way home
I remember
only good days.
