(Verse 1)

I walk the streets of this old town, Newport is my home

I see the ocean shining bright, it beacons me to roam

I'll leave the desk that ties me down to hear the seagulls squawk

I'll feel the wind upon my face and head down to the dock



(Chorus)

Sail away, sail away, sail away, I'll just sail away

Sail away, sail away, into the sparkling water on this beautiful day



(Verse 2)

We'll grab our gear, buy some chips and stow the ice and beer

And greet the other sailors as we stride along the pier

Once we're aboard, we'll raise the jib and hoist the main full sail

I've got the tiller, you hold the sheet, now let the wind prevail!



(Chorus)

Sail away, sail away, sail away, I'll just sail away

Sail away, sail away, into the sparkling water on this beautiful day



(Bridge)

Sail away, sail away, sail away, sail away



(Verse 3)

We'll sail our boat into the sun as light fades to the West

With salt blown hair and wind burned shin, it's time to take a rest

We'll catch our mooring, call the launch, and tie up all the sails

And go ashore to have a bite, relax, and tell some tales



(Chorus)

Sail away, sail away, sail away, I'll just sail away

Sail away, sail away, into the sparkling water on this beautiful day

Into the sparkling water on this beautiful day

Into the sparkling water on this beautiful day
