Generate meaning
1
I climbed the hill, lay in the grass
2
A little dark eyes girl drifted past
3
She said, "All the best has come, it could not last
4
And the worst is has come true"
5
Her hands were small and fluttered up
6
A lamb amongst the buttercups
7
I pulled on my coat and buttoned it up
8
For the worst it had come true
9
Sail away, sail away
10
To a place where your troubles can't follow
11
Sail away, sail away
12
Save all your tears for tomorrow
13
The fins of the city moved toward us
14
And the swallows swooped and the starlings warned us
15
And the peril in everything it assured us
16
That the worst it had come true
17
And all my sorrows made their bed beside me
18
The shame, the disgrace and the brutality
19
And she whispered then, "Let laughter flee
20
For the worst it has come true"
21
Dry your tears, forget why we're here
22
Leave all your sorrows behind you
23
Never lose heart, all things will pass
24
To a place where your troubles can't find you
25
She came beside me amongst my coat
26
Her breath was warm against my throat
27
We clung to each other so very close
28
For the worst it had come true
29
Sail away, sail away
30
To a place where no one can betray you
31
Take my hand, through this night without end
32
For the worst it has come to claim you
