I'D RATHER BE SAILING
[Music and Lyrics – Nick Taylor]


You with your credit cards and makeup you take up precious time
And I … don't have the time to give .. I wanna live .. again but then again
You with your fancy clothes and jewellery .. don't fool me anymore
And I … ask myself why .. I try .. to live .. a lie

I'd rather be sailing .. over the sea
Waiting for the breeze kick up it's heels and catch me
I'd rather be sailing out on the ocean wave
Under the sun .. with no one trying to save me
Rather be sailing .. over the ocean blue
Counting the miles that take me away from ..
You …. with your credit cards … and make up
You take up .. precious time

And there's a child behind your eyes
I tried so many times to find
And will I live to see the day
Your heart could rule your mind ..

I'd rather be sailing … out on the sea
Following a star .. ever so far from me
Rather be sailing .. into the blackest night
Riding out a storm .. than cold and forlorn when we fight
I'd rather be sailing .. where the wind takes me to
Than tie myself to someone … like you.. [short instrumental bridge] …

Sailing .. over the sea
Waiting for the breeze to kick up it's heels and catch me
I'd rather be sailing out on the ocean wave
Under the sun where nobody tries to save me
Rather be sailing … over the ocean blue
Counting the days that take me away

Ah ah ah .. ah ah ah ..Ah .. ah .. ah
You with your fancy clothes and your jewellery
You don't fool me anymore and I ask myself why
I try to live a lie when I would rather be
Sailing .. where the wind takes me to
Counting the miles that take me away

Sailing .. over the sea
Waiting for the breeze to pick up it's heels and catch me
I'd rather be sailing out on the ocean wave
Under the sun where nobody tries to save me
I'd rather be sailing over the ocean blue
Counting the days that take me away .. from
You with your credit cards and makeup
I'd rather be sailing ..




I'D RATHER BE SAILING
You with your credit cards and makeup you take up precious time
And I ... don't have the time to give .. I wanna live .. again but then again You with your fancy clothes and jewelry .. don't fool me anymore
And I ... ask myself why .. I try .. to live .. a lie
I'd rather be sailing .. over the sea
Waiting for the breeze kick up it's heels and catch me I'd rather be sailing out on the ocean wave
Under the sun .. with no one trying to save me Rather be sailing .. over the ocean blue
Counting the miles that take me away from ..
You .... with your credit cards ... and make up
You take up .. precious time
And there's a child behind your eyes I tried so many times to find
And will I live to see the day
Your heart could rule your mind ..
I'd rather be sailing ... out on the sea
Following a star .. ever so far from me
Rather be sailing .. into the blackest night
Riding out a storm .. than cold and forlorn when we fight I'd rather be sailing .. where the wind takes me to
Than tie myself to someone ... like you.. INSTRUMENTAL BRIDGE
Sailing .. over the sea
Waiting for the breeze to kick up it's heels and catch me I'd rather be sailing out on the ocean wave
Under the sun where nobody tries to save me
Rather be sailing ... over the ocean blue
Counting the days that take me away
Ah ah ah .. ah ah ah ..Ah .. ah .. ah
You with your fancy clothes and your jewelry You dont fool me anymore and I ask myself why I try to live a lie when I would rather be
Sailing .. where the wind takes me to
Counting the miles that take me away
Sailing .. over the sea
Waiting for the breeze to pick up it's heels and catch me I'd rather be sailing out on the ocean wave
Under the sun where nobody tries to save me
I'd rather be sailing over the ocean blue
Counting the days that take me away .. from
You with your credit cards and makeup
I'd rather be sailing ..
