Sailing away - Chris De Burgh (Lyrics)

Waiting at the water's edge,
Watching all the ships as they are heading for the harbour wall,
I was just a boy, I was just a boy,
Dreaming of the wide world, dreaming of the wide world;
Watching as they disapper,
Reading out the names of all the places I hav never been,
Looking out to sea, staring out to sea,
Dreaming of a wide world, dreaming of the wide world,
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,
Sailing away, with you tonight, with you tonight;
Walking down another street,
Underneath the red light, I am watching where the shadows fall,
Looking at the girls, listening to the girls,
Dreaming of a new world, dreaming of that new world,
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,
Sailing away, in your arms tonight,
In your arms tonight;
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away,
Sailing away, with you now, with you now...

This beautiful song started to be played on the radio at the end of 1988. I was 24 then, with my head full of dreams. The biggest one was to "sail away" to somewhere very far. That dream was soon to turn into reality. Few months later I was living the most exciting experience of my life. I was living in a different country, hundreds of hundreds miles away from home, a place where I had a new home, a new life, a place where I found love, and found myself. Thank you, Life.

This song reminds me of my youth when i joined shipping as a marine engineer and sailed on board foreign going vessels. Leaving the port to open sea and looking at shore behind, moving away slowly, on full away, gives this song the feelings at sea.

This is a lovely song.The previous album "Into the light " was probably his biggest hit as it included "The Lady in Red", but he followed up with an equally good album "Flying Colours" which was every bit as good as Into the light in my opinion.Legendary performer, I actually saw him in concert in 80's I think with my sister and her friend at Alton Towers, legendary.I prefer his early work than much of his post 2000 songs.

[@GavAnA]

Уплыть под парусами Ожидая на пристани, Наблюдая как корабли Возвращаются в гавань, Я был мальчишкой, совсем ещё мальчишкой, Мечтавшем об огромном мире, Мечтавшем о бескрайнем мире. Глядя на то как они исчезают, Читая вслух названия, Всех тех мест, где я никогда не бывал, Пристально всматриваясь в море, Я мечтал об огромном мире, Мечтал о бескрайнем мире. Я хотел бы уплыть, Уплыть под парусами, Уплыть с тобой сегодня ночью, С тобой сегодня ночью. Спускаясь по другой улице, Что под красными фонарями, Я смотрел куда падают тени, Глядя на девушек, слушая девушек, Мечтая о новом мире, Мечтая о том новом мире. Я хотел бы уплыть, Уплыть под парусами, Уплыть в твоих объятиях сегодня ночью В твоих объятиях сегодня ночью. Я хотел бы уплыть, Уплыть под парусами, Уплыть с тобой сейчас, С тобой сейчас.
