Lyrics

Goodbye to summer
There you go, you never were my friend
Goodbye to nights alone
When there was no end

I’m standing on the edge of my life
When I thought I could see the lights at home tonight

So sail on, sail away
I don’t know where I’m going but I’m out in the bay
Sail on, take me home
You know I’m only waiting ’till I get you alone
Once more

Don’t say I’m leaving
Wave goodbye and let me drift away
Don’t brush my lips with yours
You know I can’t stay

We’re shadows on the edge of the light
But you know I’ll be on my way alone tonight

So sail on, sail away
I don’t know where I’m going but I’m out in the bay
Sail on, take me home
You know I’m only waiting ’till I get you alone
Once more

I’m standing on the edge of my life
But I think I can see the lights at home tonight

So sail on, sail away
I don’t know where I’m going but I’m out in the bay
Sail on, take me home
You know I’m only waiting ’till I get you alone…
Ooh, once more
Ooh ooh ooh, once more
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh
