G                 Am               F 
I am told that my life is a clipper 
           C       G 
The sea of time has tossed about 
      G                 Am              F 
And I know that there's only one skipper 
        C         G 
Who can guide that ship about 

Em                  D                     F 
Do the wakening eyes of the wondering soul 
        C     G 
See within and then without? 

G            Am                      F 
Silently the truth speaks more loudly 
    C             G 
Than what falls from my mouth 
G                       Am               F 
Seems my dreams are the wings of a spirit 
            C                    G 
This vessel sails can't fill without 
G                        Am                  F 
From it's wind comes the light of inspiration 
        C           G 
And the darkness of doubt 

Em                 D                   F   
Gales of anger that wane into the calm. 
               C             G 
Please take me drifting far away 

G                 Am                  F 
From the wordy and worldly explanation 
        C               G 
Of this space we call today. 

G Bm  G   F 
Sail away 
      C            G 
Sail away from the shore. 
G  Bm  G   F          C           G 
Situations, weigh the anchor once more. 
G Bm  G   F 
Sail away 
      C            G 
Sail away from the shore. 
G  Bm  G   F          C           G 
Situations, weigh the anchor once more.
