come sail away with me

"i'm sailing away

set an open course for the virgin sea

'cause i've got to be free

to face the life that's ahead of me

on board i'm the captain, so climb aboard

we'll search for tomorrow on every shore..."

stranded

"i'm stranded at the edge of the world

it's a world i don't know

got no where to go

feels like i'm stranded

and i'm stranded between the devil and the deep blue sea

and nobody's gonna tell me what time it is"

fly

you got to give up the shit that weighs you down."

paddle your own canoe

"voyage upon life's sea

to yourself be true

and whatever your lot may be

paddle your own canoe"

siren

"i am a creature of the fey

prepare to give your soul away

my spell is passion and it is art

my song can bind a human heart

and if you chance to know my face

my hold shall be your last embrace.

i shall be your lover..."

-heather alexander

on the ocean

"and i shall watch the ferry boats, and they'll get high,

on a bluer ocean against tomorrow's sky.

and i will never grow so old again,

and i will walk and talk,

in gardens all wet with rain..."

-van morrison
