Well, it's not far down to par-a-dise,
at - least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you
can sail a-way and find tran-quil-i-ty
Oh, the can-vas can do mir-a-cles,
just you wait and see
Be-lieve me...
It's not far to nev-er-nev-er land,
no rea-son to pre-tend
And if the wind is right you can
find the joy of in-no-cence a-gain
Oh, the can-vas can do mir-a-cles,
just you wait and see
Be-lieve me...
- Sail-ing takes me a-way to where
I've al-ways heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to car-ry me
And soon I will be free
Fan-ta-sy, it gets the best of me
when I'm sail-ing
All caught up in the rev-er-ie,
Eve-ry word is a sym-pho-ny
Won't you be-lieve me?
Sail-ing takes me a-way to where
I've al-ways heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to car-ry me
And soon I will be free
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
. . . . . . . .
Well it's not far back to san-i-ty,
at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you
can sail a-way and find ser-en-i-ty
Oh, the can-vas can do mir-a-cles,
just you wait and see
Be---lieve me...
Sail-ing takes me a-way to where
I've al-ways heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to car-ry me
And soon I will be free
