Across the bay a lady waits to hold me tight,
And my boat and I are ready to set sail.
If the weather keeps on holdin' and the wind is right
I'll be wrapped up in my sweet one's arms tonight.

And we will sail away
On the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
We’ll go to sleep together
With the rockin' of the water
Dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away with me.

As I slip across the waves my sails are high and full,
My mind is on the one I wait to see.
And I dream about an island somewhere in my mind,
Where someday I will take her off with me.

And we will sail away
On the wings of love into the night
Cast out our fortunes on the sea
We’ll go to sleep together
With the rockin' of the water
Dream of how our life will someday be
When she sails away with me.

Then a smile comes upon me as I look across the bow;
I see the lady on the side.
But she will wait no more as I head towards the shore,
'Cause tonight I'm gonna take her for a ride.
