Alone
On a sailboat lost at sea
I did not recognize the skies above me
My compass was just spinning round and round
It was just spinning round
And then,
with the gust of wind things changed Set off on a
course that seemed to me quite strange
I was heading through the air straight for the moon
Straight for the moon And when I landed,
he took my hand
We dined and we danced with the stars
He asked me to stay
in this dreamland
But the wind called out so I went
instead Then he turned to me and said
Don't sail away
Don't sail away from me
Don't sail away We could have such a lovely time
Don't sail away
Don't sail away from me
I told him not this time
The wind
carried me across deep spaces I visited many times and many places
I drifted till my boat came to a stop
On destiny's rooftop
Inside,
I played chess with destiny
I saw a way to win so very easily
But
it was taking far too long to make its move
Destiny wouldn't move
So I turned my boat back towards that dreamland
And I filled the sails with my breath
When I landed,
he took my hand
Though the wind called out, I remained instead
He still turned to me and
said
Don't sail away
Don't sail away from me
Don't sail away
We could have such a lovely time
Don't sail away
Don't sail away from me
Don't sail away
You could stay and just be mine I'd like to stay for a lifetime
Don't sail away
Don't sail away
I'd like to stay Don't sail away
We could have such a lovely time
Don't sail away
Don't sail away Don't sail away
You could stay and just be mine
