Sail away

Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore and David Coverdale

If you're driftin' on an empty ocean
With no wind to fill your sail
The future, your horizon
It's like searchin' for the Holy Grail
You feel there's no tomorrow
As you look into the water below
It's only your reflection
And you still ain't got no place to go

Time will show, when I don't know
Sail away tomorrow, sailin' far away
To find it, steal or borrow
I'll be there someday yeah hey-yeaeh

Ah woman, I keep returnin' to sing the same old song
The story's been told
Now I'm gettin' old
Tell me where do I belong?
Feel like I'm goin' to surrender
Hard times I've had enough
If I could find a place to hide my face
I believe I could get back up

Time will show, when I don't know
Sail away tomorrow, sailin' far away
To find it, steal or borrow
An' I'll be there someday yeah hey-yeaeh

Sail away tomorrow, sailin' far away
To find it, steal or borrow
And I'll be there someday yeah hey-yeaeh

Sail away tomorrow, sailin' far away
To find it, steal or borrow
But I'll be there someday yeah yeah...

Time to go
You've got no place to go
Hard times I've had enough
