The Great Wide Blue

[Chorus]
I wish I could take you sailing out on the great wide blue
I wish I could look to my side and see the sun surround you
The leaves will turn while souls fade white
But don't you know?
I won't leave your side on the great wide blue

[Verse]
Greetings, my Glider
It's been far too long
The months pass me by while the waves have been strong
I've saved up my grace and a moment in time
To write back to you, my treasure sublime
To write back to you, my treasure sublime
I've run into trouble, the rain of old fell
Washed up from hells
My mere words couldn't tell
So here's a message from a bottle afar
I wish you good air from somewhere the captains are
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Bridge]
I wish I could take you sailing
I wish I could take you sailing

[Chorus]
I wish I could take you sailing out on the great wide blue
I wish I could look to my side and see the sun surround you
The leaves will turn while souls fade white
But don't you know?
I won't leave your side on the great wide blue!
Oh-oh-oh, oh
I wish I could take you sailing out on the great wide blue
I wish I could look to my side and see the sun surround you
The leaves will turn while souls fade white
But don't you know?
I won't leave your side on the great wide blue!
Oh-oh-oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Through the dance that the wind and the waves perform
I may not survive this menacing storm
But I swear through the grip from the tides long of wars
My words are with you
I'm forever yours

[Chorus]
So I wish I could take you sailing out on the great wide blue
I wish I could look to my side and see the sun surround you
The leaves will turn while souls fade white
But don't you know?
I won't leave your side on the great wide blue

[Outro]
(The great wide blue)
