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 onward till' they disappear
 These continents, from over head
 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 lock
 Speedboat 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
 (Cuz' they don't know who they are)
 I was falling through the air, when it hit me right there
 My eyes are tired and 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
 (Cuz' 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
