Lyrics

[Verse 1]
As I watched you turn and sail away
Like a Viking burning in flames
The gravity waves will reach and heal your skin
Time is remembered, and time will be regained
[Verse 2]
The last time we talked, you sighed and joked
You said you were tired and taking time off
You still live in the deepness of our souls
In our hearts and in our minds and in our homes
[Chorus]
So sail away, my brave friend
You fought so hard to the end
So sail away, my bravest of friends
Sail to the end
Oh my brave friend
Sail to the end
[Verse 3]
Have you ever walked between the raindrops
And lost control of all of your feelings?
Have you ever seen a sky so blue?
Have you ever felt a pain so true?
[Chorus]
So sail away, my brave friend
You fought so hard to the end
So sail away, my bravest of friends
Sail to the end
[Bridge]
So I sail away
[Chorus]
So sail away, my bravest of friends
Sail to the end
My brave friend
Oh my brave friend
Sail to the end
