Sailing

by Lisa Howard

on Songs Of Innocence & Experience - The Songs Of William Finn (2011)

[Verse 1]
I'd rather be sailing
Yes, I would
On an open sea
I'd stand at the railing
If I could
Feeling wild and free

[Chorus]
The sun is on my neck
The wind is in my face
The water's incredibly blue
And I'd rather be sailing
Yes, I'd wanna go sail
And then come home to you

[Bridge]
Sex is good but I'd rather be sailing
Food is nice but I'd rather be sailing
People are swell but I'd rather be sailing
Over the horizon

[Verse 2]
I'd rather be sailing
Yes, I would
On an open sea
I'd stand there inhaling
If I could
Feeling wild and free

[Chorus]
The sun is on my neck
The wind is in my face
The sea is incredibly blue
And I'd rather be sailing
Yes, I'd wanna go sail
And then come home to you

[Coda]
I'd rather be sailing
Yes, I'd wanna go sail
Then come home to you
Come home to you
