Lyrics

[Verse 1] Like a dream on the ocean Always drifting away And I can't catch up She just skips away on the tide [Verse 2] Sometimes a great notion Can lead us astray So weak to devotion So strong to desire [Chorus] Come on baby, baby won't you let me ride Take me off your sailboat ride Come on now angels are on your side But she slips away, oh never stay [Verse 3] Like mercury gliding Silver teardrop that falls And i can't hold on Through my fingers she's gone Through my fingers she's gone Through my fingers she's gone Through my fingers she's gone Through my fingers she's gone Through my fingers she's gone Through my fingers she's gone [Verse 4] At the foot of the mountain Such a long way to climb How will I ever get up there ? But I know I must try [Chorus] Come on baby, baby won't you let me ride Take me off your sailboat ride Come on now angels are on your side But she slips away, oh never stay [Verse 5] Like a dream on the ocean Always drifting away And I can't catch up She just slips away on the tide Just slips away, oh she glides She just slips away on the tide Yeah, slips away, she glides
