Don’t Sail Away Songtext
von A-Mei Chang

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 a 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
Don′t sail away
You could stay and just be mine"
I told him, "Not this time"

The wind carried me across deep spaces
I visited many times and many places
I drifted ′til 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 he was taking me far too long to make his 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 like to stay for a lifetime (don′t sail away)

(Don′t sail away)
I like to stay
(Don't sail away)
Doo-doo-doo-doo, we could have such a lovely time
(Don′t sail away)
Don't sail away (don′t sail away)
(Don't sail away)

Don′t sail away, you could stay and just be mine"
