Mickey Newbury Sail Away Lyrics

Come lay down beside me love and close your troubled eyes
Let me be the pillow for your sleepy head
Till the morning comes wash away your cloudy skies
I'll be here to share your warm and loving bed

If we sail away sail away
From all the clouds of gray
All the rain that came today
Sail away yes we sail away

Let me be the shelter from this cold and angry world A bridge that will not burn a tree that will not sway
A ship that rides the morning winds with all the sails unfurled
Like one that will not take you where you cannot stay

If we sail away sail away
From all the clouds of gray
All the rain that came today
Sail away yes we sail away
