Song about 'just wanting to get away' when the 'work-a-day world' is looking mighty flat....

"Sailing (Right Over The Edge)"
By Dave McIsaac ©2007



I can see how Columbus felt
When he looked for a little help
To pay for his trip to the sea
He must have felt a lot like me

I've been working night and day
Still have all these bills to pay
I just want to get away
I want to sail away

(Chorus)
I just want to go sailing
Right over the edge with you
I just want to go sailing
Right over the edge

They said, "Columbus this world is flat
You should just stay where you're at
If you sail away from here
Its no doubt your end is near"

He said, "Even if this world is flat
I'm tired of being where I'm at
I can't take it another day
Hey, I"m sailing away

(Chorus)

This work-a-day world is looking mighty flat
How'd we ever get stuck where we're at
We've been working night and day
Seems all we do is pay and pay and pay
I say we should just sail away

(Chorus) / (Chorus)
