(Tenderly to his wife)
GaddD-------------C
My love, I had a dream last night
GaddD-----------------C
I saw a rider on the wind
GaddD-------------C
A stranger to my eyes

Was on the outside lookin' in
Am-------------------------C
And the land he's longing for
Am-------------------------G#
Is on a dim and distant shore
-------GaddD
Of my life

G,C,G,C

GaddD--------------C
My love, I heard a pilgrim's call
GaddD-----------C
I saw it was forsaking all
GaddD-------------C-----------GaddD
I cried because I knew (yes I knew)

It meant my leaving you
Am--------------------C
But the riches that I gain
Am-------------------------G#
Outweigh the losses that remain

In my life

Life------

Chorus:
GaddD----C-------------GaddD
Sail me away (Sail me away)
--------C-----------------------GaddD
Sail me away (I wanna go sailing away)
(Repeat three times)

(To his wife)
My love the man is older now
Yet wisdom was the guiding light
That led him on to foreign lands (far away)
Though he's never left your side
And the treasure that I bare
Is now all I seek to share
In my life

Repeat chorus
