“Sail Away” is the fourth track off of Deep Purple’s eighth studio album, Burn.
This track, written in A minor, has a very groovy main riff by Ritchie Blackmore, combining blues-based rock and funk. The ending solo by Ritchie Blackmore is very melodic and beautiful.
Other highlights of the song ar...
[Verse 1]
If you're drifting on an empty ocean
With no wind to fill your sail
The future, your horizon
It's like searching for the holy grail
You feel there's no tomorrow
As you look into the water below
It's only your reflection
And you still haven't got no place to go
[Pre-Chorus]
Time will show
When, I don't know
[Chorus]
Sail away tomorrow
Sailing far away
To find it, steal, or borrow
I'll be there someday
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Oh woman, I keep returning
To sing the same old song
The story's been told, now I'm getting old
Tell me, where do I belong?
Feel like I'm going to surrender
Hard times I've had enough
If I could find a place to hide my face
I believe, I could get back up
[Pre-Chorus]
Time will show
When, I don't know
[Chorus]
Sail away tomorrow
Sailing far away
To find it, steal, or borrow
But I'll be there someday
Yeah, yeah
[Synth Solo]
[Chorus]
Sail away tomorrow
Sailing far away
To find it, steal, or borrow
But I'll be there someday
Yeah, yeah
Sail away tomorrow
Sailing far away
To find it, steal, or borrow
But I'll be there someday
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
