Sailboats wish that they were stars,

Floating softly in the sky

Among our dreams that pay goodbye



Moving through transparent space, 

Drifting through the stratosphere

And onward 'till they disappear



These continents from overhead

Look like tiny paper shapes

Intricately set in place



Below the misty mountain clouds

Theres a lovely silver bay

Where sunset sailors often hideaway



Scuba diver in the lock, 

Speedboat driver on the dock

Sailplane pilot in the blue take me up there with you

The world looks brighter from this high altitude



I was walking through the trees (Sailboats wish they were stars)

And I was swimming through the sea (Cause they don't know who they are)

I was falling through the air

When it hit me right there...

My eyes are tired; I don't even care



An airplane carried me to bed, 

Where i slept above the coast 

And dreamt I had become a ghost



I sail above the frozen peaks,

Deep in cold cathedral caves

Across the hills and far beyond the waves



Take the car on the lawn

Fly the jet to the sun

And bring the spacecraft

'n soon while I play chess with the moon

I feel like sleeping through this cold afternoon



Once in 1964 (Sailboats wish they were stars)

An actress ran on the shore (Cause they don't know who they are)



And though you'll never return,

I love you Audrey Hepburn

Sometimes I can see your face in the crowd



There are sailboats throughout this brilliant sky

But you cannot pick them out if you can't fly

I'm glad the Earth doesn't care

If I go up there

If you want to just ask me and I will take you along..
