about

This was one of Jenine's favourite song as a teenager.

lyrics

I'm sailing away
Set an open course for the virgin sea
'Cause I've got to be free
Free to face the life that's ahead of me

On board I'm a captain
So climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow
on every shore

And I'll try, oh lord I'll try to carry on

I look to the sea
Reflections in the wave spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had

Live happily ever after
Or the story goes
But somehow we missed out
On the pot of gold

But we tried, best as we can, to carry on

A gathering of angels appears above my head
The sang to me this song of hope
This is what they said
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me

I thought they were angels but to my surprise
We climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
They said
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me
