One last gaze upon the sun
|
Bid farewell to everyone
|
Kick that bucket out the door
|
Where I'm going I won't need it anymore
|
|
Gonna lay my burden down
|
Take a bird's eye look around
|
From the tall pines of Carolina
|
All the way to the wall of China
|
|
So I'll go sailing round the room
|
Through my window across the silver moon
|
No flesh and bone to hold me
|
I'll finally set my soul free
|
When I go sailing round the room
|
|
Life may be just but a dream
|
I row my boat on down the stream
|
To wake up on a different shore
|
Wind up as something I ain't never been before
|
|
I could be a drop of summer rain
|
Falling down on an Oklahoma plain
|
I won't leave the world behind me
|
Look around and you will find me
|
|
So I'll go sailing round the room
|
Through my window across the silver moon
|
No flesh and bone to hold me
|
I'll finally set my soul free
|
When I go sailing round the room
|
|
(I will be)
|
In the smoke from Mauna Loa
|
Morning mist from the Shenandoah
|
(I will be)
|
A grain of sand in the Kalahari
|
Magnolia by the Mississippi
|
(I will be)
|
Birdsong when day is breaking
|
Words of love when your heart is aching
|
(I will be)
|
A bluebonnet by the highway
|
I'll be everywhere and always
|
|
When I go sailing round the room
|
Through my window across the silver moon
|
No flesh and bone to hold me
|
I'll finally set my soul free
|
When I go sailing round the room
|
Through my window across the silver moon
|
No flesh and bone to hold me
|
I'll finally set my soul free
|
When I go sailing round the room
|
