Sailboats

作词 : Adam Young

作曲 : Adam Young

Sailboats wish that they were stars

Floating softly in the sky

Among our dreams that bid goodbye

Moving through transparent space

Drifting through the stratosphere

And onward 'till they disappear

These continents' from overhead

Look like tiny paper shapes

Intricately set in place

Below the misty mountain clouds

There's a lovely silver bay

Where sunset sailors often hide away

Scuba diver in the lock

Speedboat driver on the dock

Sailplane pilot in the blue' take me up there with you

The world looks brighter from this high altitude

I was walking through the trees

（Sailboats wish that they were stars）

And I was swimming through the seas

（'Cause they don't know who they are）

I was falling through the air

When it hit me right there

My eyes are tired

I don't even care

An airplane carried me to bed

Where I slept above the coast

and dreamt I had become a ghost

I sail above the frozen peaks

Deep in cold cathedral caves

Across the hills and far beyond the waves

Take the car on the run

Fly the jet to the sun

And bring the spacecraft in soon

While I play chess with the moon

I feel like sleeping through this cold afternoon

Once in 1964

Sailboats wish that they were stars

An actress ran on the shore

Cause they don't know who they are

And though you'll never return

I love you' Audrey Hepburn

Sometimes I can see your face in the crowd

There are sailboats throughout this brilliant sky

But you cannot pick them out if you can't fly

I'm glad the Earth doesn't care If I go up there

If you want to' just ask me and I'll take you along
