Like a dream on the ocean

Always drifting away

And I can't catch up

She just skips away on the tide Sometimes a great notion

Can lead you astray

So weak to devotion

So strong to desire Come on baby, baby won't you let me ride

Take me off on your sail boat ride

Come on Angels, are on your side

She slips away oh, never stays Like mercury gliding

Silver teardrop that falls

And I can't hold her

Through my fingers, she's gone Through my fingers, she's gone

Through my fingers, she's gone

Through my fingers, she's gone

Through my fingers, she's gone

Through my fingers, she's gone

Through my fingers, she's gone At the foot of the mountain

Such a long way to climb

How will I ever get up there

But I know I must try Come on baby, baby won't you let me ride?

Take me off on your sail boat ride

Come on now Angels, are on your side

But she slips away oh, and never stays Like a dream on the ocean

Always drifting away

And I can't catch up She just skips away on the tide

Just slips away on the tide

She just slips away on the tide

Aah skip away, she glides, she glides
