letra de sailing away - james mcmurtry

[verse 1]
i sat there, but can’t get signal, and this light’s forever long
lost in the rain in this no-man’s land over by the pentagon
wonderin’ if i’m even worth the paper i’m printed on
it’s a judgment call

[verse 2]
dc beltway in this 5:30 gloom
openin’ for isbell in some cavernous room
i hate it when the clocks roll back, it’s darker than a tomb
and they’re out smokin’ by the load-in, one and all

[verse 3]
i won’t forget your birthday, ’cause you don’t forget the score
i won’t forget that chorus like i did the night before, when i was
tryin’ to remembеr, did i lock the front door? and have i

[chorus]
sailin’ away
feelin’ faded, and i’m not okay
sailin’ alone
steerin’ by the stars, and i can’t get home now

[verse 4]
the light tech’s friendly, and she sees me right through
she’s an iron-skinned veteran of professional crew
so i don’t stand half a chance, no matter what i do

[verse 5]
one time you told me not to push you too hard
you could drift away slowly till you drift too far
and i paid attention, and i took it to heart
but it’s been so long now, i just don’t know who we are, and i’m

[chorus]
sailin’ away
feelin’ faded, and i’m not okay
sailin’ alone
steerin’ by the stars, and i can’t get home now

[verse 5]
dreamed i came home from a month or so out
junk mail on the kitchen table scattered all about
i couldn’t find you anywhere, i searched all through the house
i kept hopin’ as i opened every door

[chorus]
sailin’ away
feelin’ faded, and i’m not okay
sailin’ alone
steerin’ by the stars, and i can’t get home
steerin’ by the stars, and i can’t get home now
