Sail Away

On a night, so long ago

It almost seems a dream

I saw this girl who made me grow

Who was not quite what she seemed

And through the maze of time and grief

This dream turned into disbelief

And like the lightning in a storm

Was here one moment, then was gone

I once tried to find again

This missing dream, that is now dead

But this quest is now no more

That missing dream is gone for sure

I sit alone on rooftops high 

And stare aloft, at the starry sky

My eyes will always find one star

Because that star is where you are

You are no longer here with me

My ghostly dream won't let me be

And though in time, I feel alright

I'm never alone, in the night

I block you out, but still I see

What I wanted us to be

And now that that ship has sailed

I'll no longer wait, to no avail

I'll buy my ticket, and onward go

To places I never thought I'd know

And see the things I'd want to see

And there, be happy finally

So as I view the fleeting sky

I say one final, sad goodbye

And let go of all the pain I've felt

To make room for the new hand I'm dealt

Goodbye to all that love me so

I won't be here tomorrow

I'm going to a place unknown

And hope one day, that I'll be found
