Mick McAuley, Winifred Horan & Colm O Caoimh — Sailing Back to You lyrics

Lyrics

Throw away my compass
The world has turned upside down
The winds of last direction
I’m drifting, my sails are falling down
Its now I think of you, so beautiful
Barefoot on the shore
Oh I’m battered to the bone
This body or this ship won’t take much more
I’m waterbound so long
Believing keeps me strong
Oh I’ve sailed the seven seas
To find you darling please
Oh I know this much is true
Your love keeps me warm
And guides me through the storm
For when we are apart
There’s this longing in my heart
That keeps me sailing back to you
I’d throw away my anchor
Cut the vines and tie you up in trees
The sun will soon appear
Together we can shoot the summer breeze
It’s how I think of you
So beautiful
Always on my mind
Venus will look down
And smile on all the treasures that we’d find.
I’m waterbound so long
Believing keeps me strong
Oh I’ve sailed the seven seas
To find you darling please
Cause I know we could be true
Your love keeps me warm
And guides me through the storm
For when we are apart
theres this longing in my heart
That keeps me sailin back to you.
Your love keeps me warm
And guides me through the storm.
And maybe I’ll capsize
Chasin heaven in your eyes,
But I’ll keep sailing back to you.
