Boats Away Songtext
von Murray Head

Climb the rigging and haul the ropes
Hoist and unfurl the dust to sail
Winds are singing we′re bound for hope
It is impossible to fail
Flesh is willing and dreams will soar
When we sight the distant shore

Hold on fast to the skies
Smell the spray in your eyes
Know they have a trusted prize
It's just a prayer


Glide our weary pain-laden souls
Over hollow heaving waves
Weigh our bodies down with salt
Every hallowed heathen sways
There is hope to guide us there
There is love to make us one
With our souls as the anchor
Guide our path to the sun
Till our everlasting search is on an end

Hold on fast to the skies
Smell the spray in your eyes
Know they have a trusted prize
It′s just a prayer
