Can I sail away?

Cue Reaves 1986 (Memphis)



Can I sail away?

Leave at night to never be seen.
Close my eyes to get ready to dream.
As the terror flashes, I get ready to scream.

Can I sail away?

Like a captain ready to explore.
Like a sergeant ready for war.
This trailing love follows Cupid's Arrow.
Her shooting star crossed my horizon.

Can I sail with you?

Be my companion the answer
The voice of my reason
The breeze of a new season
The taste of fall.

Can I sail with you?

Like the breath of God or the vibration, I feel as you get closer.
Like the Viper lashing onto its prey for survival.

Can I hold you close?

More the a choice my final decision. The greatest achievement!!!! Means more when you mean it.
No longer a question "I am ready for love."
