Sail away, sail away home
Sail away, till you are gone
You have so far to go
There's so much that you don't know
Dream away, see what you find yea
Dream away, it's all in your mind
Things that you like to see
Things that you like to be

Don't you know, it's gone on too long
I can't take the guns any more
I can't take the screams any more
I can't take the pain
It's got to stop, it's got to change
It can't go on, it can't go on
Don't you know, it's gone on too long, yes
Don't you know, it seems so wrong
I can't take the guns any more
I can't take the screams any more
I can't take the pain
It's got to stop, it's got to change
It can't go on, it can't go on
We'll find a way
I know you can
We'll find a way
I give you my hand
We're on our way back home
We've been a long time gone
Sail away, sail away home
Sail away, sail away home yea
Sail away, sail away home
Sail away, sail away home yea
Sail away

some friends And spent a time or two in my own home And I have to say it now It's been a good life
all in all It's really fine To have a chance to hang around And lie there by the fire And watch the

Hard to believe this was written by the man who gave us the comedy song, 'Makin' the best of a bad situation'. If you heard that 1, you'd laugh your buns off!
