Whitesnake - Sailing Ships lyrics

Do you remember standing on the shore
Head in the clouds
Your pockets filled with dreams
Bound for glory on the seven seas of life
But, the ocean is deeper than it seems

The wind was with you
When you left on the morning tide
You set your sail for an island in the sun
On the horizon, dark clouds up ahead
For the storm has just begun
Take me with you take me far away
Lead me to the distant shore

Sail your ship across the water
Spread your wings across the sky
Take the time to see
You're the one who holds the key
Or sailing ships will pass you by

You cry for mercy
When you think you've lost your way
You drift alone, if all your hope is gone
So find the strength and you will see
You control, your destiny
After all is said and done
So take me with you take me far away
An' lead me to the distant shore

Sail your ship across the water
Spread your wings across the sky
Take the time to see
You're the one who holds the key
Or sailing ships will pass
Sailing ships will pass you
Sailing ships will pass you by
Take me with you take me far away
We'll ride the wind across the sky
Spread your wings and you will see
You control, your destiny
So sailing ships don't pass you by

So take me with you take me far away
We'll ride the wind across the sky
Spread your wings and you will see
You control, your destiny
So sailing ships don't pass
So sailing ships don't pass you
So sailing ships don't pass you by
Baby, baby, baby, baby
You'll find that you're the only one
Can sail your ship across the sky
