Sail Away (From Ace Of Clubs) - Noël Coward

When a sailor goes to sea

Though he leaves his love behind

Time and tide will set him free

From the grief inside him

Sea and sky will ease his heart

Regulate his troubled mind

Every sailor has a chart

And a star to guide him home

When the storm clouds are riding through a winter sky

Sail away, sail away

When the love light is fading in your sweetheart’s eye

Sail away, sail away

When you feel your song

Is orchestrated wrong

Why should you prolong your stay?

When the wind and the weather blow your dreams sky high

Sail away, sail away, sail away

Love is meat to make us glad

Love can make the world go round

Love can drive you raving mad

Torment and upset you

Love can give your heart a jolt

But philosophers have found

That it’s wise to do a bolt

When it starts to get you down

When your life seems too difficult to rise above

Sail away, sail away

When your heart feels as dreary as a worn-out glove

Sail away, sail away

But when soon or late

You recognize your fate

That will be your great, great day

On the wings of the morning with your own true love

Sail away, sail away, sail away
