Sail on By My Companion
Lyrics
Hey my sweet life
Oh Sally, I thought you were mine
Pulling back on the curtains of your life
Dreams are drifting down the river of time
And you were lying on the sunshine
Are you thinking of the ones who have died?
They must be dreaming of you now
Your breath is gentle but your body's on fire
Kindle mine, my last time
Sail on by my companion
My lover and my life
You are searching for the answer
You are heading for the light
Dream on
For when you wake up I'll be gone
Just smile and remember
I'll never forget your love
Though I could never hold you
And I guess you'll forget me in time
But I am just here on the edge of the night
And I can see you as the days drift on by
You're growing old, growing happy
I see you stand where the light meets the sand
Your daughter's hand where you once held mine
Your breath is gentle, and the light falls around you
Shining golden in her life
Sail on by my companion
My lover and my life
You are searching for the answer
You are heading for the light
Dream on
For when you wake up I'll be gone
Just smile and remember
Hey my sweet life
Oh Sally, I thought you were mine
Pulling back on the curtains of your life
Dreams are drifting down the river of time
And you were lying on the sunshine
Are you thinking of the ones who have died?
They must be dreaming of you now
Your breath is gentle but your body's on fire
Kindle mine, my last time
Sail on by my companion
My lover and my life
You are searching for the answer
You are heading for the light
Dream on
For when you wake up I'll be gone
Just smile and remember
I'll never forget your love
Though I could never hold you
And I guess you'll forget me in time
But I am just here on the edge of the night
And I can see you as the days drift on by
You're growing old, growing happy
I see you stand where the light meets the sand
Your daughter's hand where you once held mine
Your breath is gentle, and the light falls around you
Shining golden in her life
Sail on by my companion
My lover and my life
You are searching for the answer
You are heading for the light
Dream on
For when you wake up I'll be gone
Just smile and remember
