Chris Rea - Sail Away

Показать описание

Sail away from 2000 album "King Of The Beach"
A sequel of sorts to his earlier On the Beach, King of the Beach continues the laid-back mood of the earlier album but is a more mature and unified work. It's one of his best albums and is a return to form after the film soundtrack La Passione and the more electronic sounds of The Road to Hell Part 2. Written primarily during a vacation in the Turks and Caicos Islands, it's replete with lots of beach and summer imagery in the titles ("King of the Beach," "All Summer Long," "Sandwriting," "Sail Away") as well as the lyrics, which were originally written as poems.

Lyrics:

Walk a cold thin line
in the morning
Hold the fear inside
that greets you with the day

I can't go with you now
I can only watch you now
As you sail away
Sail away

I'm going to miss you now
So much more then I realised
There's a heavy stone of empty
where you once lay

I can't go with you now
I can only watch you now
Watch you
As you sail away

Sail away
I know you need your freedom
Sail away
Cause without it you can't survive
Be on your way
disappear into the distance
I smile and say
Sail away

I can't go with you now
I can only watch you now
Watch you
As you sail away...

I had originally thought this was about the death of a loved one, but I now understand it was written after his elder daughter Josie left home to go to university. Such a lovely song. Beautiful.
