Lyrics of 'Sailing Ships' by Whitesnake

Do you remember standing on the shore,
With your head in the clouds
And your pockets filled wtih dreams?
Bound for glory, on the seven seas of life
But the ocean is deeper than it seems

The wind was with you
When you left on the morning tide
You set your sail for an island in the sun
On the horizon, dark clouds up ahead,
For the storm has just begun

Take me with you, take me far away,
And lead me to the distant shore
Sail your ship across the water,
Spread your wings across the sky

Take the time to see
You're the one who holds the key
Or sailing ships will pass you by

You cry for mercy
When you think you've lost your way
You drift alone,
If all your hope is gone

But take the time and you will see
That you control your destiny
After all is said and done

So take me with you, take me far away,
An' lead me to the distant shore
Sail your ship across the water,
Spread your wings across the sky

Take the time to see
You're the one who holds the key
Or sailing ships will pass,
Sailing ships will pass you
Sailing ships will pass you by

So take me with you, take me far away,
We'll ride the wind across the sky
Spread your wings and you will see
You control your destiny
So sailing ships don't pass you by

So take me with you, take me far away,
We'll ride the wind across the sky
Spread your wings and you will see
You control your destiny
So sailing ships don't pass

So sailing ships don't pass you
Sailing ships don't pass you by
Baby, baby. baby baby
You'll find that you're the only one 'who
Can sail your ship across the sky
