Sailboats

Sailboats wish that they were stars Floating softly in the sky Among our dreams that bid goodbye Moving through transparent space Drifting through the stratosphere And onwards 'til they disappear These continents from overhead Look like tiny paper shapes Intricately set in place Below the misty mountain clouds There's a lovely silver bay Where sunset sailors often hide away Scuba-diver in the loch Speed-boat driver on the dock Sailplane pilot in the blue, take me up there with you The world looks brighter from this high altitude I was walking through the trees (sailboats wish that they were stars) And I was swimming through the seas (cause they don't know who they are) I was falling through the air When it hit me right there My eyes are tired but I don't even care An airplane carried me to bed Where I slept above the coast And dreamt I had become a ghost I sailed above the frozen peaks Deep in cold cathedral caves Across the hills and far beyond the waves Take the car on the run Fly the jet to the sun And bring the spacecraft in soon While I play chess with the moon I feel like sleeping through this cold afternoon Once in 1964 (sailboats wish that they were stars) An actress ran on the shore (cause they don't know who they are) And though you'll never return I love you Audrey Hepburn Sometimes I can see your face in the crowd There are sailboats throughout this brilliant sky But you cannot pick them out if you can't fly I'm glad the Earth doesn't care if I go up there If you want to just ask me and I'll take you along
