Sail Away Lyrics

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-yeah-yeah yeah-ye-yeah

Oh, 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
But I'll be there someday yeah-yeah-yeah yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

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

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

Looking For Love

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-yeah-yeah yeah-ye-yeah

Oh, 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
But I'll be there someday yeah-yeah-yeah yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

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

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
