Sailing Ships Songtext
von Whitesnake

Do you remember standing on the shore
Head in the clouds, your pockets filled with dreams
Bound for glory on the seven seas of life
But the ocean is deeper than it seems

The wind was with you, when you left on the morning tide
You set your sail for an island in the sun
On the horizon, dark clouds up ahead
For the storm has just begun

Take me with you
Take me far away
And lead me to the distant shore

Sail your ship across the water
Spread your wings across the sky
Take the time to see, you′re the one who holds the key
Or sailing ships will pass you by


You cry for mercy when you think you've lost your way
You drift alone if all your hope is gone
But find the strength and you will see
You control your destiny
After all is said and done

So take me with you
Take me far away
And lead me to the distant shore

Sail your ship across the water
And spread your wings across the sky
Take the time to see, you′re the one who holds the key
Or sailing ships will pass
Sailing ships will pass you
Sailing ships will pass you by

Take me with you
Take me far away
We'll ride the wind across the sky
Spread your wings and you will see
You control your destiny
So sailing ships don't pass you by


So take me with you
Take me far away
We′ll ride the wind across the sky
Spread your wings and you will see
You control your destiny
So sailing ships don′t pass
Sailing ships don't pass you
Sailing ships don′t pass you by

Baby, baby, baby, baby
You'll find that you′re the only one
Can sail your ship across the
Sky
