lyrics

Chorus
Goodbye everybody,
I take my leave of you,
Sailing on the water,
Sailing on the blue.

Though I’m floating on the breeze
You don’t have to carry me,
I could travel up to the stars
But there’s something holding me.
I’m meant to take a journey now,
It’s woven in your tears,
Purple mountains, distant seas,
A song across the years.

Chorus

The way is barred to what we’ve had
A summer that’s grown cold,
A dream that changed its colours,
A story that’s grown old.
I’ll make my way down hidden paths,
Unravel journeys new,
I’ll take the road less travelled
That leads me to the blue.

Chorus

Oh, let me go.
Oh, let me go.

I’m meant to take a journey now,
It’s woven in your tears,
Purple mountains, distant seas,
A song across the years.

Chorus
