Adam Young - Sailboats lyrics

Sailboats wish that they were stars Floating softly in the sky Among the spheres that bid goodbye Moving through transparent seas Drifting through the stratosphere and onward till they disappear The continents from overhead Look like tiny paper shapes Intricately set in place Below the airplanes and the clouds There's a lovely silver bay Where sailors often hide away [Instrumental] An airplane carried me to bed Where I slept above the coast And dreamt I had become a ghost I sailed above the mountain peaks Deep in underwater caves And somehow I walked on the waves Scuba diver in the lock Speedboat driver on the dock Sailplane pilot in the blue Take me up there with you Ocean freighter and A bountiful of snow I was walking through the trees I was sailing through the seas I was falling through the air When it hit me right there The seagull doesn't even care about the news [Instrumental] Do boats get lonely in the night? When the side walks fill with leaves And joggers taste the evening breeze Buildings, and freeways, and street lights, and painted pavements Hotels, and on ramps, and road signs at the trail Branches, and sky ways, and railroads, and heavy traffic Runways, and restaurants, and subways in the air Inlets, and harbors, and islands, and white sand beaches Skylines, and sunsets where ocean meets the sky Drive the car on the run Fly the jet to the sun Bring the spaceship in soon While I'll play golf on the moon My eyes are tired And I fall asleep Once in 1964 (Sailboats wish that they were stars) An actress ran on the shore (Sailboats wish that they were stars) Dancing slow and in turn I love you Audrey Hepburn. Steal your statue back and we'll fall in love
