Caritas


You could be half a world away,
it wouldn’t matter.
Your voice could be too quiet to hear,
it would make no difference.
I guess what I want to say is
wherever you go,
whatever you do,
regardless of clocks and calendars
the details won’t matter
you can trust that in me
you will always have someone
who loves you for you.

Sail Away (With Me)


There she goes again
out the door
she sails away
I’m tired of this
being the story of my life

For once, love don’t leave me
standing on the dock
watching you fade
For once, prove to me
I’m not the only one
who makes dreams come true
take me with you
take me with you
when you go, when you set sail
take me with you

My heart is yours
I’m not asking to be your anchor
I just want to be carried away
on the same wind that carries you
When your arms are tired
I’ll be happy to take the helm
Point us in the right direction
and I’ll take us there together

For once, love don’t leave me
standing on the dock
watching you fade
For once, prove to me
I’m not the only one
who makes dreams come true
take me with you
take me with you
when you go, when you set sail
take me with you

When you cast off
don’t leave me castaway
on this shore without you
Don’t leave me standing here
watching you drift away 

Oh, love
when there’s no wind
let me drift beside you
Oh, love
when the storm comes
let me ride it with you
And love
when there’s nothing else
let it be
you and me, the sails and the sea

For once, love don’t leave me
standing on the dock
watching you fade
For once, prove to me
I’m not the only one
who makes dreams come true
take me with you
take me with you
when you go, when you set sail
take me with you

There she goes again
out the door
take me with you
I could get used to this
being the story of our life
