Sailing Round the Room歌词

Emmylou Harris - Sailing Round The Room
One last gaze upon the sun
Bid farewell to everyone
Kick that bucket out the door
Where I'm going I won't need it anymore

Gonna lay my burden down
Take a bird's eye look around

From the tall pines of Carolina

All the way to the wall of China

So I'll go sailing round the room

Through my window across the silver moon

No flesh and bone to hold me

I'll finally set my soul free

When I go sailing round the room

Life may be just but a dream

I row my boat on down the stream

To wake up on a different shore

Wind up as something I ain't never been before

I could be a drop of summer rain

Falling down on an Oklahoma plain

I won't leave the world behind me
Look around and you will find me

So I'll go sailing round the room

Through my window across the silver moon

No flesh and bone to hold me
I'll finally set my soul free

When I go sailing round the room

（I will be）

In the smoke from Mauna Loa
Morning mist from the Shenandoah
（I will be）

A grain of sand in the Kalahari
Magnolia by the Mississippi
（I will be）

Birdsong when day is breaking
Words of love when your heart is aching
（I will be）

A bluebonnet by the highway
I'll be everywhere and always
When I go sailing round the room

Through my window across the silver moon

No flesh and bone to hold me
I'll finally set my soul free
When I go sailing round the room
Through my window across the silver moon

No flesh and bone to hold me

I'll finally set my soul free

When I go sailing round the room
