Alone, on a sailboat lost at sea,
I did not recognize the skies above me,
My compass was just spinning ‘round and ‘round,
it was just spinning 'round

And then, with a gust of wind things changed,
set off on a course that seemed to me quite strange
I was heading through the air straight for the moon
straight for the moon

And when I landed, he took my hand
we dined and we danced with the stars
he asked me to stay in this dreamland
but the wind called out so I went instead,
then he turned to me and said

Don't sail away, don't sail away from me
Don't sail away, we could have such a lovely time
Don't sail away, don't sail away from me
Don't sail away, you could stay and just be mine
I told him not this time

The wind, carried me across deep spaces,
I visited many times and many places
I drifted 'til my boat came to a stop, on destiny's rooftop

Inside, I played chess with destiny,
I saw a way to win so very easily
But he was taking far too long to make his move,
destiny wouldn't move

So I turned my boat back towards that dreamland
and I filled the sails with my breath
when I landed he took my hand
though the wind called out I remained instead,
He still turned to me and said

Don't sail away, don't sail away from me
Don't sail away, we could have such a lovely time
Don't sail away, don't sail away from me
Don't sail away, you could stay and just be mine
I like to stay for a lifetime
