Sailing Round the Room

Lyrics

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
