Neil Young - Sail Away Lyrics






I could live inside a tepee
I could die
in Penthouse thirty-five
You could lose me on the freeway
But I would still
make it back alive.

As long as we can sail away
As long as we can sail away
There'll be wind in the canyon
Moon on the rise
As long as we can sail away.

See the losers in the best bars
Meet the winners in the dives
Where the people are the real stars
All the rest of their lives.

As long as we can sail away
As long as we can sail away
There'll be wind in the canyon
Moon on the rise
As long as we can sail away.

There's a road
stretched out between us
Like a ribbon on the high plain
Down from Phoenix through Salinas
'Round the bend and back again.

As long as we can sail away
As long as we can sail away
There'll be wind in the canyon
Moon on the rise
As long as we can sail away
As long as we can sail away.

    I remember when this album was released I was seeing a woman who wanted to swap partners when we went out with another couple. Then she wanted to swap with the couple next door. The gal wasn't bad looking but the guy had poor oral hygiene. Something started smelling fishy so I figure she probably shared it with old crud mouth when I wasn't around. Since I wasn't wild enough for her she dumped me for another dude while I was getting my first H-D panhead running. I saw her at a bar later & she asked me to take her for a ride on it. I told her......

  15. C.... C....

    Driving off in my camper van. when I leave home this will be playing.

  16. L.... B....

    First time I ever heard this song (like everything else on the RNS album) was when Neil played it at my first large concert, Capital Centre 9/21/78. Just passed 40 years. Wow.

    L.... B....

    I was there too, had just started my senior year of high school..what a great show!

    It just doesn't get any better than this...never gets old, it gets better each time I hear it. So grateful for Neil. He has been the soundtrack to my life from the time I was 11 years old and will continue to be until my time fades away and I move out of the blue and into the black...

  20. D.... B....

    Wind and canyons. A western.

  21. D.... V....

    Is that Nicolette Larson on background/harmony?

    D.... V....

    This song was an outtake from "Comes A Time".

  22. H.... O....

    When my brother in law passed, I played a set at the reception with my acoustic guitar. This beautiful song was one I played.

  23. G.... ....

    i swear any of Neil Young's songs could just make me relax and put me in deep sleep. its so calming after a stressful day. i love it
