Lyrics and Music by David Coverdale, Adrian Vandenberg

Do you remember
Standing on the shore,
Your head in the clouds,
Your pockets filled with dreams.
Bound for glory
On the seven seas of life,
But the ocean is deeper than it seems.

The wind was with you
When you left on the morning tide,
You set your sail
For an island in the sun,
On the horizon,
Dark clouds up ahead,
For the storm has just begun.

   Take me with you,
   Take me far away,
   And lead me to the distant shore.

Chorus:
     Sail your ship
     Across the water,
     Spread your wings
     Across the sky.
     Take the time to see
     You’re the one, who holds the key,
     Or sailing ships will pass you by.

You cry for mercy,
When you think you’ve lost your way,
You drift alone,
If all your hope is gone.
And find the strength and you will see
That you controlled your destiny,
After all is said and done.

   So take me with you,
   Take me far away,
   And lead me to the distant shore.

Chorus:
     Sail your ship
     Across the water,
     Spread your wings
     Across the sky.
     Take the time to see
     You’re the one, who holds the key,
     Or sailing ships will pass,
     Sailing ships will pass you,
     Sailing ships will pass you by…

Take me with you,
Take me far away,
We’ll ride the wind across the sky.
Spread your wings and you will see
You control your destiny,
So sailing ships don’t pass you by.

So take me with you,
Take me far away,
We’ll ride the wind across the sky.
Spread your wings and you will see
You control your destiny,
So sailing ships don’t pass,
Sailing ships don’t pass you
Sailing ships don’t pass you by…

Baby, baby, baby, baby,
You’ll find that you’re the only one
Can sail your ship across the sky.
