Sail Away – English Lyrics
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
Once upon a time, we had a lot to fight for
We had a dream, we had a plan
Sparks in the air, we spread a lot of envy
Didn't have to care, once upon a time
Remember when I swore. That love was never ending
That you and I would never die
Remember when I swore
We had it all
We had it all
Sail away, it's time to leave
Rainy days are yours to keep
Fade away, the night is calling my name
You will stay, I'll sail away
Once upon a time, we used to burn candles
We had a place to call a home
The dream that we lived was better than divine. Every day was like a gift, once upon a time
Remember when you swore. Your love was never ending
That you and I will never die
Remember when you swore
We had it all
We'd never fall
...
Sail away, it's time to leave
Rainy days are yours to keep
Fade away, twilight's is calling my name
You will stay
I'll sail away
No reason to lie
No need to pretend
I´m grateful to die
To live once again
I´m fearless to fly
And reach for the end
Sail away
Sail away, it´s time to leave
Rainy days are yours to keep
Fade away, the night is calling my name
You will stay, I´ll sail away
Sail away
The nigth is calling my name
Sail away
