I have heard the bell
In the tolling out the waves
And I have heard the moon
Making love to the stars
Keep your eyes on (Keep your eyes)
Blue horizons (Blue horizons)
I'll be your diver
I'll find a pearl for you
And the boat sails by
Under crimson skies
Golden children play
As we sail away
Away, away, away
Put your ear to the shell
Can you hear me call?
You cannot hide behind
The curve of the earth
Keep your eyes on (Keep your eyes)
Blue horizons (Blue horizons)
Cool winds blow me home to you
And the boat sails by
Under crimson skies
Golden children play
As we sail away
And the boat sails by
Under crimson skies
Golden children play
As we sail away
Away, away, away
Away, away, away
And the boat sails by
Under crimson skies
Golden children play
As we sail away
And the boat sails by
Under crimson skies
Golden children play
As we sail away
Away, away, away
Away... away... 'way
