    and if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility.

Just a dream and the wind to carry me, and soon I will be free.

+  Fantasy, it gets the best of me when I’m sailing,

     C                             G          C                       G   

    all caught up in the reverie, every word is a symphony,

    won’t you believe me.

    and if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity.
