John Gondolf Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

This lyric was inspired by the song "Sailing" by Christopher Cross.

Sail Away With Me

Please join me in this fantasy
and sail away to paradise;
as trade winds blow, our sails are full
so just give in as dreams entice.

For Neverland’s within our reach,
the innocence of love awaits;
it’s calling us to sail away
and enter through her luring gates.

       My fantasy has open arms
       as Eden beckons with her charms.

It’s only but a dream away
this tropic reverie of mine;
please join me on this magic ride
the time is now, our stars align.

We’ll stroll the pure white sands by day
and dream beneath the stars at night
as palm trees sway with ocean breeze;
a fantasy of pure delight.

       Serenity is what we long
       as paradise resounds her song.

      Tranquility has open arms
      as Eden beckons with her charms.
