[Verse 1]
Just like a sailor on leave from the ship
I am caught in the wind on a shore
Rain in my face and nowhere a trace of a friend or a foe
Out on the river the boats are leaving
Heading for Singapore, engines glowing
Everyone knows where they're headed
With their face to the wind and their future

[Chorus]
Sail with me
Oh, my love
On a river of darkness
To a shore of light

[Verse 2]
Stood in the light of the lamp on the cornеr
And looked at the shadows
Wondering how I could еver go home again
Out on the river the boats are singing
Scrap of a song I remember from England
Turn your face to the wind and the future

[Chorus]
Sail with me
Oh, my love
On a river of darkness
To a shore of light
[Bridge]
Through the clouds in the sky
See the shape of the unicorn flight
See the cut of his wings
Hear the song that his ancient voice sings
Ooh

[Verse 3]
How did I find myself here in the dark
Of deserted shipwrecks?
Turning my collar back up against the cold
Out on the river, the fireworks shining
Sound of a train whistle whining, crying
Turn your face to the wind and the future

[Chorus]
Sail with me
Oh, my love
On a river of darkness
To a shore of light
