Come Away

Come away, come away
Why do you stay
Come away, come away
With me today
Don’t dismay, don’t dismay
Whatever they say
You’ve heard it all before

Why delay, why delay
Let's be on our way
Today, today
What do you say?
Far away, far away
Leave those tormented times far behind

For its many years they’ve hounded you
And for those many years you’ve cried inside
In their world of those false promises
How many times have they lied?
Come away ……

Come away I say, with me today
Throw all of your shackles away
And you’re free to come and see
For the world it is a better place
Than the one you know today they say
And I’ll always be there as your guide
I shall stand by your side

Sail away, sail away
On a fair wind today
Sail away, sail away
Cometh what may
We are bound for the land of our destiny
We are bound for the dock on that bay
For its many years they've hounded you
And for those many years you've cried inside
In the world of their false promises?
How many times have they lied
Come away .....
