1,2,3, listen to me
I mean it this time when I say
it's over
4,5,6, no more tricks
no more lies, I'm telling you
it's over
All I have is gone
Packed away and airtight
all the memories of you
Sail away into the night
Away - Far Away
1,2,3, Hold this key
Keep it safe from me when I say
I need it
4,5,6, the same old tricks
don't fall for them when I say
I need it
All I have is gone
Packed away and airtight
all the memories of you
Sail away into the night
Away - Far Away
All I have is gone
Packed away and airtight
all the memories of you
Sail away into the night
Away - Far Away

VERSE
When it all comes down and feels so heavy (oooh ooh ooh)
when it all clouds up and seems so blue
when everything is just a bundle of worry (oooh ooh ooh)
I close my eyes and just think of you
VERSE 2
When I feel all alone and everything is a hurry (oooh ooh ooh)
when the rain comes down without a cloud in view
when everything is just a bundle of worries (oooh ooh ooh)
I close my eyes and just think of you
CHORUS
It Takes me to the open road
on a ride into a starry night
just me -holding you so close
alone together and it just feels so right
it carries me up to a place
where the world can just fall aside
yeah just those memories of you
yeah I hold on
with everything I got
yeah I hold on
believe it or not....
CHORUS
It Takes me to the open road
on a ride into a starry night
just me -holding you so close
alone together and it just feels so right
it carries me up to a place
where the world can just fall aside
just me -holding you so close
alone together and it just feels so right
yeah just those memories of you

Carry me on
Oh westward wind
Take me home
The journey's come to end
Seven months at sea is not so easily
Taken by the soul
We set out to be young and wild and free
But we lost control
Ambition led the way the unknown on display
Whatever we would find
Every night and day a simple verse I prayed
With you on my mind
Carry me on
Oh westward wind
Take me home
The journey's come to end
The time we sailed through the lonely ocean blue
Your memory I adored
And when I thought of you a picture I once knew
A maiden by the shore
The days would nullify the nights would multiply
The emptiness at bay
Time intensified patience cast aside
But every night I prayed
Carry me on
Oh westward wind
Take me home
The journey's come to end
Through stormy seas and sheets of glass
The wind won't change how time will pass
The endless nights and lonely days
I'd think of you and how I prayed
Carry me on
Oh westward wind
Take me home
The journey's come to end

Oh, we go sailing on
Right where we be, right where we belong
Set course for the ocean Sentimental cruise
Packed up all the photographs Lunches lots of booze
Hold on to these next few days
Block out all the extra and be yours
Just be yours
Sand storm In the summer camp out for the day
Hide under the covers and just sleep the day away
Hold on to your every move
Savor every moment here with you
Here with you

Woke up this morning
A new day dawning
Adventure waits for me at every turn
I'm bouncing off the ceiling
I can't shake this feeling
Trouble waits, but I won't ever learn
Well, I've seen a lot of people
And I've sailed a lot of worlds
Don't worry 'bout the time I could've saved
I've had so many good times
And I've known my share of girls
But your love is like the crashing of the waves
Yeah, your love is like the crashing of the waves
Time for the sunrise
Shine like your big brown eyes
Look at me and tell me I'm the one
Won't you take my hand
See some colors we could not have planned
From the ocean blue to the setting of the sun
Well, I've seen a lot of people
And I've sailed a lot of worlds
Don't worry 'bout the time I could've saved
I've had so many good times
And I've known my share of girls
But your love is like the crashing of the waves
Yeah, your love is like the crashing of the waves
And just like Thunder Island, the rain will start to fall
But we won't care, we won't care at all
-- take it, Lee Ritenour --
Well, I've seen a lot of people
And I've sailed a lot of worlds
Don't worry 'bout the time I could've saved
I've had so many good times
And I've known my share of girls
But your love is like the crashing of the waves
Yeah, your love is like the crashing of the waves
I said, your love is like the crashing of the waves
Yeah, your love is like the crashing of the waves

Felt the wind between these sails
Heard the ancient sailor’s tales
How they mapped the rocks below
Sought to sketch the undertow
Should have felt the current’s pull
Never felt a greater fool
How we dreamed of far-off lands
Crossed the desert’s mystic sands
How I’d chase you o’er the miles
Green atolls, deserted isles
Seemed so simple to believe
In fictions written to deceive
I remember
last transmission
heard the longing on your lips
tracing embers
floating skyward
we were only sinking ships
Oh, how the fantasies subside
Leave us drifting in the tides
Wondering how you got away
Find you on some shore one day
What could I expect to find?
Were you lost, or was I blind?
I remember
last transmission
heard the longing on your lips
tracing embers
floating skyward
we were only sinking ships

There once was vessel
Designed to float away
They told her she should skim across the surface every day
But bobbing out beneath the moon
Stirred longing in her boiler room
The Heavens beckoned her to come and play
Boaty McBoatface
Went up into outer space
That sounds like a silly place
Let's go anyway
She got seasick on the ocean
She got antsy on the land
No relief from magic potions
So up and at them was the plan
She went flying out to Saturn
Looked at volcanic Io
She said "I heart you too, Pluto!"
And took a look at Uranus, oh ho!
Boaty McBoatface
Had such fun in outer space
Little asteroids she did chase
But then earth did call
A rock is headed for the planet
It didn't work out well before
Oh please Boaty won’t you stop it
Or we'll end up like dinosaurs
Some said that she should destroy it
Others wanted her to change it's path
No one wanted to pay for it
Couldn't agree upon the math
Boaty McBoatface
Didn’t save the human race
‘cause they all had a stupid face
So they're all gonna die

I am wrapped up with the tide
It is stronger than I've ever seen
I may never see the shore again
I may never feel the sands upon my skin
If by chance that I survive
I will retire this boat from the seas
For I"ve got a longing for home
For safty and comfort
No more will I ever test you
No More will we ride upon your waves
I believe your water laughs upon me now
I will give in if you let me go home again
My eyes are open wide
I see a light coming over me
Now I feel I'm missing from this earth
Please wish my family well
No more will I ever test you
No More will we ride upon your waves
I believe your water laughs upon me now
I will give in if you let me go home again

“Let Me Ride”
Well the days seem like hours
But the weeks feel like years
It's all moving faster
Cruise stuck in high gear
Even though I like it
Wouldn't change a single thing
'Cept I would topple mountains
Just to hear you sing my name
Baby just let me ride
Baby just let me ride
Baby just let me ride
One more time
Don't think that I don't want you
Just because I'm out of sight
You're always on my mind
Morning, day, noon and night
Let me whisper in your ear
I promise you'll believe
I need to bask in your beauty
like the air I breathe
Baby just let me ride
Baby just let me ride
Baby just let me ride
One more time
I could find a reason just to call you on the phone
Hear that sweet sound of a simple hello
I'd take away your worries, leave it all up to me
I beg with all my heart, can't you hear my plea?
Baby just let me ride
Baby just let me ride
Baby just let me ride
One more time
Baby just let me ride
Baby just let me ride
Baby just let me ride
One more time

ONCE YOUR FACE WAS OUT OF PHASE
NOW YOU LOOK IN STYLE
LONG AGO YOU BARELY GRINNED
NOW A PERMANENT SMILE
I SEE YOU AROUND YOUR ALL OVER TOWN
THEY KNOW YOU OH SO WELL
OOH OOH YOU BURN TO THE TOUCH
OOH OOH YOU’VE DONE SO MUCH
OOH OOH YOU SING ALL NIGHT
SHINE LIKE A STRING OF LIGHTS
