Sailing to Byzantium - Suzanne Ciani

Sailing to paradise Sailing to paradise Sailing away from here I've had enough of troubles I'm sailing away from here I'm going to an island Where nobody's missing time And no-one cares about money Oh, see winter where the skies are blue Where we can love beneath the silver moon Sailing to paradise Out of the rat race games And fighting on the freeway Where everyone looks the same They're working hard for nothing Oh, see winter where the skies are blue Where we can love beneath the silver moon Riding the wings of a song To the edge of the world and beyond To a place where the mermaids play And everyday, every way we'll love Sailing away from here I've had enough of troubles I'm sailing away from here I'm going to an island Where nobody's missing time And no-one cares about money Oh, see winter where the skies are blue Where we can love beneath the silver moon Oh, see winds so I can be Sailing away Sailing away Sailing away oh Oh, see winds so I can be Sailing away Sailing away Sailing away oh Oh, see winds so I can be Sailing away Sailing away Sailing away oh Repeat last verse and fade.

Tomorrow I sail the world Lovin, more than I know with blood on my hands Wouldn't know, you're a devious sister Guts on your blouse Close your old ways And diamonds a dozen Sailing to nowhere They burn and float on Still we move on through the night Boiling systems Drain the lot They go down by their hearts One by one Long to find A way up Following the ghost down Running in circles A mouse on the table I try to feel, I just don't Hurtin' and dead inside Go on and cut 'em in half Said I

I am Jeremiah Dixon I am a Geordie Boy A glass of wine with you, sir And the ladies I'll enjoy All Durham and Northumberland Is measured up by my own hand It was my fate from birth To make my mark upon the earth He calls me Charlie Mason A stargazer am I It seems that I was born To chart the evening sky They'd cut me out for baking bread But I had other dreams instead This baker's boy from the west country Would join the Royal Society We are sailing to Philadelphia A world away from the coaly Tyne Sailing to Philadelphia To draw the line The Mason-Dixon line Now you're a good surveyor, Dixon But I swear you'll make me mad The West will kill us both You gullible Geordie lad You talk of liberty How can America be free A Geordie and a baker's boy In the forest of the Iroquois Now hold your head up, Mason See America lies there The morning tide has raised The capes of Delaware Come up and feel the sun A new morning is begun Another day will make it clear Why your stars should guide us here We are sailing to Philadelphia A world away from the coaly Tyne Sailing to Philadelphia To draw the line The Mason-Dixon line

Unbidden shadows of you formed yesterday I ran away to a room here on the bay Interrupted life again, another new beginning Where the silence echoes you're no longer with me Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom Even though I may be alone, but that's okay Through the darkness I would walk in the streets Confessions never seemed to provide me with a release Held me down and tried to cure me tried to give me reason But nothing could separate this burdened mind from me Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom Even though I may be alone, but that's okay And looking out to a different sky will disengage me Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade I do not seek and do not intend to find A calmer ocean or a sun that never will rise My world will never change and time will bring you to my thoughts, and I'll move on and then forget you all over again Moving on, I can forgive you all over again Here and now, I feel that I'm embracing freedom Even though I may be alone, but that's ok And looking out onto a different sky it seems so easy Absence is never the answer, I know, but it serves as my shade

Tell me you love me Tell me that you're mine again Tell me you won't turn away Turn like the seasons Turn back to me once again Circling all the way Once you were my blue-eyed prince Waking love from an endless sleep You made all of my wishes come true Turning all of my dreams into you Turning and swirling and whirling 'round you again Twirling and curling 'round you Turning and burning and yearning for you again All my life with you But lately I'm losing sleep Someone else is in your eyes Won't you turn back to me my love Won't you stop telling me lies Turning and swirling and whirling 'round me again Twirling and curling 'round me Turning and burning and yearning for me again All my life with you It is a chance, a romance It's a dance we do Turning in circles we go Turn like the seasons Turn back to me once again Never let me go Tell me you love me Tell me that you're mine again Tell me you won't turn away Turn like the seasons Turn back to me once again Circling all the way Turning and swirling and whirling 'round you again Twirling and curling 'round you Turning and burning and yearning for you again All my life with you Turning and swirling and whirling 'round me again Twirling and curling 'round me Turning and burning and yearning for me again All my life with you
