David Wilcox – Come Away to Sea

from The Nightshift Watchman

……………………………………….

The wind is right for sailing

The tide is right to go

So come away to sea with me

There’s things that you should know

There’s things I’d like to tell you

That words can’t seem to say

Unless we’re on this simple craft

Sailing far away

Chorus

Sail around this sound

Far away from shore

Come away to sea with me

Sail your heart once more

Join me in this simple craft

Welcome to my home

The things I’d like to say to you

Are better said alone

So let your heart sail with me

We’ll cast away from town

And we’ll sail away on music

Inside this simple sound

Chorus

This simple craft I play upon

Is made from wooden parts

Its never sailed an ocean

But is sure can sail my heart

And if you feel the music

Then we’ve raised another sail

The ocean wraps this world around

The wind will never fail

chorus (repeat)
