Sail Away

Drifting our way through a clear turquoise sea,
on board a breezy boat, drinking hot tea,
my favourite teddy bear singing to me,
wishing my cares all away …

Let the waves carry your worries away,
far from the currents of Hospital Bay,
onto a land where the sun shines each day,
sail away, sail away, sail …

Hailing a flock of terns riding pink skies,
black-capped formation with dark twinkling eyes,
raising a descant with clear whistling cries,
wishing my cares all away …

Let the waves carry your worries away,
far from the currents of Hospital Bay,
onto a land where the sun shines each day,
sail away, sail away, sail …

Spotting seals daydream on tide-smoothed chaises longues,
grey, white and speckled in sleek furry throng,
sounding a bassline with gruff barking song,
wishing my cares all away …

Let the waves carry your worries away,
far from the currents of Hospital Bay,
onto a land where the sun shines each day,
sail away, sail away, sail …

Glimpsing fish fly by a blossoming moon,
rainbow trails dancing across the lagoon,
wings humming gently to Ted’s tender tune,
wishing my cares all away …

Let the waves carry your worries away,
far from the currents of Hospital Bay,
onto a land where the sun shines each day,
sail away, sail away, sail …
