I Sail Away
As the last opalescent glow of sunset fades away, I sail this ship alone
towards a crimson horizon, over a starlit sea
through the soft lapping of waves which lullaby my destiny.
I sail this ship alone far from the powdered sand
Far from the pebbled beach,Far from my sun-kissed land.
Tonight there is no moon ,but there is a sparkle in the sky
A starry night so still filled with beacons of bright light.
Tomorrow births a new dawn, a song within a dream
Meadows of yellow buttercups and fields of evergreen
Tomorrow I'll be greeted by a silk winged butterfly
A host of daffodils and golden dandelions, by warmth within a smile
Tomorrow I stroll along a new shore, feel fresh salt- spray upon my cheeks
I'll dance barefoot in the wind, as Spring breathes in lotus leaves.
