[Verse 1]
Oh, let me sail away
From the beach and lonely bay
The boats on the sea are blissfully free
They will come to no harm
'Cause the waves are so calm

[Verse 2]
Oh, let me think a while
To the playground of your smile
The wind through the frame whistles your name
Though you said goodbye (Ah, ah, ah-ah)
You did not leave my mind (Ah, ah, ah-ah)

[Chorus]
Oh, I've got to get away
From this town, don't want to face
The ominous clouds
Oh, not now, not now, not now
I've got to find a place (Oh, oh-oh)
Be myself, and learn to face
The ominous clouds
But not now, not now, not now

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna sail away (Oh, oh-oh)
Want to look back on the bay
And hide with my hand what's left of the land
Though I leave it behind (Ah, ah, ah-ah)
It will not leave my mind (Ah, ah, ah-ah)
[Chorus]
Oh, I've got to get away
From this town, don't want to face
The ominous clouds
Oh, not now, not now, not now
I've got to find a place (Oh, oh-oh)
Be myself, and learn to face (Oh-oh-oh)
The ominous clouds
But not now, not now, not now

[Interlude]
Hmm, mmm, mmm, mmm-mmm
Hmm, mmm, mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah

[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ha, ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Oh, not now, not now, not now
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah (Oh, oh-oh)
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah-ah (Oh-oh-oh)
Ah-ah-ah-ah
But not now, not now, not now

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah
