Across the bay a lady waits to hold me tight And my boat and I are ready to set sail If the weather keeps on holdin' and the wind is right I'll be wrapped up in my sweet one's arms tonight And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night Cast out our fortunes on the sea Then we'll go to sleep together with the rocking of the water And dream of how our life will someday be When she sails away with me As I slip across the waves my sails are high and full My mind is on the one I wait to see And I dream about an island somewhere in my mind Where someday I will take her off with me And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night Cast out our fortunes on the sea Then we'll go to sleep together with the rocking of the water And dream of how our life will someday be When she sails away with me A smile comes upon me as I look across the bow I see the lady on the side but she will wait no more As I head toward the shore cause tonight I'm gonna take her for a ride And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night Cast out our fortunes on the sea Then we'll go to sleep together with the rocking of the water And dream of how our life will someday be When she sails away with me And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night Cast out our fortunes on the sea Then we'll go to sleep together with the rocking of the water And dream of how our life will someday be When she sails away with me
