Demis Roussos Take Me Sailing Lyrics

Take Me Sailing
To some tired island in your heart called paradise
Though we wonder home
We both feel alone like escapees with nowhere to go

I can think of a thousand ways
To get good and lost beyond these hopeless days

Where we'll rendezvous out of the blue
And take a deep breath, just we do
And we'll be so far gone, the oars will roll on
And we will happily wave so long

If we hook a train
And it tows us back down this open stream
We'll say, hello, oh, oh
Take us wherever you go

Take me somewhere deep
'Cause I'm quite exhausted and I need to sleep I'll climb the great divide
I'll wake up beside myself just to know I'm alive

Every weight around
Pays me a visit, drags my eyelids down

And they sting like growing pains
Iced in the pains of a guy who's not ready to die
If I may be so bold, I'll weather the cold
'Cause I'm not afraid to grow old

If we hook a train
And it tows us back down this open stream
We'll say, hello,oh, oh
Take us wherever you go

To some tired island in your heart called paradise
Though we wonder home
