DAVID GRAY - SAIL AWAY

Sail Away With Me, Honey
I Put My Heart In Your Hands
Sail Away With Me, Honey, Now, Now, Now
Sail Away With Me
What Will Be Will Be
I Wanna Hold You Now, Now, Now

Crazy Skies All Wild Above Me Now
Winter Howling At My Face And Everything I Held So Dear
Disappeared Without A Trace

Of All The Times I've Tasted Love
Never Knew Quite What I Had
Little Darling, If You Hear Me Now
Never Needed You So Bad
Spinning 'Round Inside My Head

Sail Away With Me, Honey
I Put My Heart In Your Hands
Sail Away With Me, Honey, Now, Now, Now
Sail Away With Me
What Will Be Will Be
I Wanna Hold You Now, Now, Now

I've Been Talking Drunken Gibberish
Falling In And Out Of Bars
Trying To Get Some Explanation Here
For The Way Some People Are
How Did It Ever Come So Far?

Sail Away With Me, Honey
I Put My Heart In Your Hands
Sail Away With Me, Honey, Now, Now, Now
Sail Away With Me
What Will Be Will Be
I Wanna Hold You Now, Now, Now

Sail Away With Me, Honey
I Put My Heart In Your Hands
Sail Away With Me, Honey, Now, Now
Sail Away With Me
What Will Be Will Be
I Wanna Hold You Now, Now, Now

Sail Away With Me, Honey
I Put My Heart In Your Hands
Your Break Me Up If You Pull Me Down
Sail Away With Me
What Will Be Will Be
I Wanna Hold You Now, Now, Now



SONG FACTS

Writer(s): David Gray
Producer(s): David Gray, Iestyn Polson, Craig McClune, Marius De Vries

In This Song, David Gray Offers A Getaway, Telling A Lady He'd Like To Sail Away With Her, Putting His Heart In Her Hands. He Worked On The Song Over A Number Of Years, Writing And Discarding Verses Along The Way. It's What He Calls A "Frankenstein Song" Because It Was Cobbled Together From So Many Parts Assembled At Different Times.

This Wasn't Released As A Single In America, But In The Uk It Was The Fifth Single From White Ladder, Gray's Pièce De Résistance. Gray Had Been Dropped By His Label When He Recorded It, So He Issued It Independently Before It Got Picked Up. It Went Platinum In America, But Was Especially Popular In The Uk And In Ireland, Where It Is The Best-Selling Album Of All Time.

The Music Video, Directed By Monty Whitebloom, Finds Gray In The Sea Of Drunken Humanity After The Bars Close In London. He Appears To Be Sober, Eager To "Sail Away" From It.

This Features In The 2001 Robert De Niro Movie 15 Minutes And In The Film Angel Eyes, Released The Same Year.
