Elton John, Hugh Panaro - Sail Me Away lyrics

When stars are born are they cast out
To wander cold and lonely, lost in space?

A loveless point of light that can't return
Forever fixed within one place

When love is lost and dreams are cast
Like bruised and battered pieces left to die

When hands that reach out are betrayed
How can my tortured soul survive?

There's only one thing left
And that's the one thing that
You needed most of all
For the freedom that you gain
Is the loss that led you aimless to the shore

And I'm borne high on these waves
Swept by the wind and alone oh, sail me away
Carry me back to my home

I'm tired, I've been torn
A cruel wretched storm churns like
A gale in my bones oh, sail me away
Carry me back to my home

These scars run deep
The future holds a hunger for
Your innocence that passed away
Your callous shadows mock
And make it clear some things were not enough
To make you stay

The moment time stands still
Is the moment that the writing's on the walls
The words are clear as ringing bells
The pride is present right before the fall

And I'm borne high on these waves
Swept by the wind and alone oh, sail me away
Carry me back to my home

I'm tired, I've been torn
A cruel wretched storm churns like
A gale in my bones oh, sail me away
Carry me back to my home sail me away
Carry me back to my home
