Emmylou Harris

Sailing Round The Room
(Emmylou Harris, Kate and Anna McGarrigle) One last gaze upon the sun Bid farewell to everyone Kick that bucket out the door Where I'm going I won't need it anymore Gonna lay my burden down Take a bird's eye look around From the tall pines of Carolina All the way to the wall of China So I'll go sailing round the room Through my window across the silver moon No flesh and bone to hold me I'll finally set my soul free When I go sailing round the room Life may be just but a dream I row my boat on down the stream To wake up on a different shore Wind up as something I ain't never been before I could be a drop of summer rain Falling down on an Oklahoma plain I won't leave the world behind me SongtexteLook around and you will find me So I'll go sailing round the room Through my window across the silver moon No flesh and bone to hold me I'll finally set my soul free When I go sailing round the room (I will be) In the smoke from Mauna Loa Morning mist from the Shenandoah (I will be) A grain of sand in the Kalahari Magnolia by the Mississippi (I will be) Birdsong when day is breaking Words of love when your heart is aching (I will be) A bluebonnet by the highway I'll be everywhere and always When I go sailing round the room Through my window across the silver moon No flesh and bone to hold me I'll finally set my soul free When I go sailing round the room Through my window across the silver moon No flesh and bone to hold me I'll finally set my soul free When I go sailing round the room Aus Songtexte Mania
