Sailing Away Lyrics by River Whyless

We All The Light

2016

[Chorus 1]
Woman, woman, sailing away
Woman, woman, sailing away
I saw your footprints press in the clay
Now I watch them, watch them wash in the wake

[Chorus 2]
And now, and now, and now you go
And now, and now, and now you go
And here I lie alive
My lungs reluctant
Waves pulling, pulling, pulling, pulling on my skin
Woman, woman, sailing away
Woman, woman, sailing away

[Verse]
I sat here a long time
Watching the sun fall
Wondering what you'd say
If you said anything at all
And I cut a trail in the cemetery fog
And I'm calling, calling your name in the dark

[Chorus 2]
And now, and now, and now you go
(And now, and now, and now you go)
And now, and now, and now you go
(And now, and now, and now you go)
And here I lie alive
My lungs reluctant
Waves pulling, pulling, pulling, pulling on my skin

[Chorus 1]
Woman, woman, sailing away
Woman, woman, sailing away
I saw your footprints press in the clay
Now I watch, watch them wash in the wake
