Sailing Lyrics by Holly Starr

Human (Deluxe Edition)

2017

[Verse 1]
You were only sixteen, waving goodbye
You sailed across the whole world
Leaving your world behind

[Pre-Chorus 1]
No one can escape it
We're sailing through time
But you were such a brave one
Waving goodbye

[Chorus 1]
The days they turn into years
And we come and go
Here then gone
So cry all your tears
When you gotta let go
Still, we keep on, sailing, sailing, sailing on
Keep on, sailing, sailing, sailing on

[Verse 2]
You fell in love at eighteen with a kindhearted man
Even years and years together
Weren't enough for all you planned

[Pre-Chorus 2]
No one can escape it
We're sailing through life
But you were such a strong one
Waving goodbye

[Chorus 1]
The days they turn into years
And we come and go
Here then gone
So cry all your tears
When you gotta let go
Still, we keep on, sailing, sailing, sailing on
Keep on, sailing, sailing, sailing on

[Bridge]
Every moment flashing by
Is a gift that won't come twice
Regrets are no good thing
So open up your eyes
While you are alive
Everybody says goodbye

[Chorus]
The days they turn into years
And we come and go
Here then gone
So cry all your tears
When you gotta let go
Still, we keep on, sailing, sailing, sailing on
Keep on, sailing, sailing, sailing on

[Verse 3]
We've come now to the ending
It's hard to let you go
You showed me how to be strong
Even if I fight alone

[Pre-Chorus 3]
No one can escape it
We're sailing through life
Now I have to be the brave one
Waving goodbye

[Chorus 2]
You'll keep, sailing, sailing, sailing on
You'll keep, sailing, sailing, sailing on
You'll keep, sailing, sailing, sailing on
You'll keep, sailing, sailing, sailing on
