[Verse 1]
Shipwrecked sailors, lost tomorrows
Hearts drowned in sorrow, easing on
To Sweet Elatia
It's a land of quiet resting
It's a flicker 'cross my memory
It's an island for resting on the sands
Of Sweet Elatia
It's a free and flowing river flowing home
Flowing home
[Chorus]
I know, I know, I believe I just sail on
Lay back, let go, close my eyes and just sail on
Sail on
[Verse 2]
Time in motion, dreams like oceans
A place just waiting to be found
Sweet Elatia
Like a lost and lonely drifter
A forgotten cross-strung martyr
Like the tide water lifting me away
To Sweet Elatia
Like a hard day of work and rolling home
Rolling home
[Chorus]
I know, I know, I believe I just sail on
Lay back, let go, close my eyes and just sail on
Sail on
[Verse 3]
Now she's by me, silent starling
A free gentle spirit filled with life
Sweet Elatia
Like the streams across the meadows to my home
To my home
To my home
[Chorus]
I know, I know, I believe I just sail on
Lay back, let go, close my eyes and just sail on
Sail on
[Outro]
Sail on
Sail on
Sail on
Sail on
