lyrics

i wish i had the chance to say goodbye
comin’ after you in the sky

on the phone tonight,
you know i didn’t mean it
no, i didn’t mean it

i’m in love tonight
you know i didn’t need it
no, i didn’t need it

sail away with me, oh oh oh oh oh oh
come and comfort me, oh oh oh oh oh oh
sail away with me, oh oh oh oh oh oh
you will live on with me, oh oh oh oh oh oh

on the phone tonight,
no, i didn’t mean it
no, i didn’t mean it

i’m in love tonight
no, i didn’t need it
no, i didn’t need it

i’m alone tonight,
no, i didn’t need it
no, i didn’t need it

i’m at home tonight
no, i didn’t mean it
no, i didn’t mean it

sail away with me, oh oh oh oh oh oh
come and comfort me, oh oh oh oh oh oh
sail away with me, oh oh oh oh oh oh
you will live on with me, oh oh oh oh oh

This is another one I discovered while working on this project. Totally new to me. The version on the album is a mash-up of two separate recordings of his, both available for download above. The first contained the entire song, but the final chorus felt rough and unfinished. The second is a 40-second take of the chorus by itself, sung more confidently, which I used for the ending.
