Lyrics

Hers are the mornings of white lace on water
She remembers the dawn and first dew
In a world once so still she could hear her own heartbeat
While young eyes drank in their first view
Of canyons where breezes blew gentle and scented
Through haze from the waterfalls spill
And none of the days that have flown away since
Have dimmed that newborn breathless thrill

Chorus
Sail away love
On the river of dreams you once knew
Sail away love
Sing me songs of when the earth was new

A soul that once drinks from the River of Life
Knows no fear of Time?s heavy brand
It?s the heart of the dove in the hand of the breeze
It?s a wisdom the still understand
And she?ll never be old for the years are her friends
And she lives in each moment anew
Abides in the place around which all else turns
Discerning what?s worthy and true

Chorus

Middle
When I?m winter weak she?ll speak of wonders that new day will bring
And bid me take what rest I can and dream of distant spring

Chorus x 2

Sail away
