Sail On, Sail Away Songtext
von Bastard Bearded Irishmen

She knew what she wanted
She gave it clear away
Her eyes had told the story
Of what her lips had to say
I knew there was no escape
And by the end of the day
I would be in her possession
But now I
I can′t get out

I tried like hell to get away
But escape I never could
I tried my best to turn me back
But there in front of me she stood
Her enchantment I was under
From her spell there's no way out
So i′ll kick n scream n beg n cry n shout


Sail on sail away
From the maid in the night
From her grasp it was impossible
To break away from her mind

She approached me in stealth
I stood there paralyzed
As she crept in for the kill
She never took me off her eyes
I knew I couldn't run I knew I couldn't fight
And I had my doubt
So I kicked and screamed and
Begged and cried and shout

Sail on sail away
From the maid in the night
From her grasp it was impossible
To break away from her mind

Shes the devil in disguise
Full of pleasures untrue
Shes a demon sent to lead you astray
But a sailor′s heart has but one love in this life
And for me that she′ll always be


Now 20 years of marriage
I never did escape
She dragged me to the alter
With chains to my feet
Her tongue was a dagger
With a taste for me blood
With my hands in the irons
Come about
Couldn't get out

With her legs wrapped around me
I could see she wanted more
Hell nor heaven could not help me
From what she had in store
Her fingers clenching tighter
For me there′s no way out
So I kick and scream and
Beg and cry and shout

Sail on sail away
From the maid in the night
From her grasp it was impossible
To break away from her mind

Shes the devil in disguise
Full of pleasures that are untrue
Shes a demon sent to lead you astray
But a sailors heart has but one love in his life
And for me that she'll always be

Hold fast hoist the main sail
Theres a banshee after me
Shes a demon sent to lead me astray

But a sailors heart has but one love in his life
And for me that she′ll always be
