    Sail Away Lyrics:
    Sail away with me honey
    I put my heart in your hands
    Sail away with me honey now, now, now
    Sail away with me
    What will be will be
    I want to hold you now, now, now
    Crazy skies all wild above me now
    Winter howling at my face
    And everything I held so dear
    Disappeared without a trace
    Oh all the times I've tasted love
    Never knew quite what I had
    Little darling if you hear me now
    Never needed you so bad
    Spinning 'round inside my head
    Sail away with me honey
    I put my heart in your hands
    Sail away with me honey now, now, now
    Sail away with me
    What will be will be
    I want to hold you now, now, now
    I've been talking drunken gibberish
    Falling in and out of bars
    Trying to get some explanation here
    For the way some people are
    How did it ever come so far?
    Sail away with me honey
    I put my heart in your hands
    Sail away with me honey now, now, now
    Sail away with me
    What will be will be
    I want to hold you now, now, now
    Sail away with me honey
    I put my heart in your hands
    Sail away with me honey now, now, now
    Sail away with me
    What will be will be
    I want to hold you now, now, now
    Sail away with me honey
    I put my heart in your hands
    It'd break me up if you pulled me down, whoa
    Sail away with me
    What will be will be
    I want to hold you now, now, now

      not sure if you're serious, but Ive just had this chat with a friend. My best friend topped himself when we were 19. He didnt give talking a chance. There's always a glimmer of light, just make the effort to see it, even if it only gives you a day. That might be enough for the fog to lift.
      I hope you're ok

    This was my wedding song in 2003. My spouse passed away in 2006 and when I hear this song I picture his handsome face and smile. It brings me back and is painful but yet comforting. He had a rare cancer and passed at 32 years young. Today would have been my husbands 48th birthday and I thought I would listen to this song with our 16 year old son.

This is me reminding myself to be happy and not care about things that don't matter. Love yourself as you are because there is only one you in this world. Be good to others not because they are good but because you are.

    This is such a beautiful song. Listening to it takes me to bittersweet memories of both of my mom and dad who are no longer with me. I miss them both so much. Not a day goes by that I don't cry for them. They say that the pain goes away but it's a lie. It never does. My dad died early this year and I was not ready to let him go. God knows how hard I fight to keep him alive but in the end God had a better plan for him. It just hurts me soo much that I can't see him anymore. Tell him that I love him and give him daily hugs. My heart is so broken.

Fast forward 20 years, I found her again I drove 4 hrs to her and we held each other and we looked into each other’s eyes kissed and instantly fell in love again. I will marry her this time. We were eating dinner last weekend sitting at a bar and this song came on and I broke down fate is real. True love is real. I love you Michelle

As I was eating a sandwich and drinking coffee I sat down on a bench and this busker started playing the guitar and singing this song, out of nowhere I started crying like mad😭🙈 the lyrics and the song in general moved me to the core and brought up feelings of deep sadness, loss, regret and helplessness I stored away in my mind for a long long time! I’m a mess every time I listen to this song! It’s been ages since a song moved me so much and touched my soul! Thank you David Gray for this masterpiece 🙏🏻🙌🏻

    I want to hold you now, now, now
    Crazy skies all wild above me now
    Winter howling at my face
    And everything I held so dear
    Disappeared without a trace
    Oh all the times I've tasted love
    Never knew quite what I had
    Little darling if you hear me now
    Never needed you so bad
    Spinning 'round inside my head

    I rarely post; as I do not use a moniker. My youtube profile is my name. One September I lost my job, I had to end a relationship of four years and my very old cat was consumed by coyotes. It was a life learning curve. I took an escape journey and ended up at Quadra Island. Riding down a tight road with wildlife - a bald eagle flew so close to me I could hear the wind of its wings - and making my path towards Kwagiulth Museum and Cultural Center, I settled by the waves. I had my little iPod. And I had my bike. And I had many tears. The repeat on my music was David Gray. It could have been anything else, but that particular music brought me solace. And most importantly, acceptance. Every expression of anything written could be a personal metaphor for those who read or listen to it. David Gray's music happened to work me through grief. It is only recently I have started listening to his voice and words again. And I will forever be grateful. And I will always remember the waves on the rocks at that special place.

    Absolutely beautiful song. I can listen to it over and over and never grow tired of it. Definitely one of my faves of all time.

    Beautiful; reminds me of Dad. When I was at my older sister's wedding this June and she did her father daughter dance with my dad, to a country song she chose, I thought to myself what would I choose? And I decided most likely David Grays Babylon because that song sticks out from my childhood with my father, but this is an amazing choice too. I just remember growing up listening to this man's unique voice and the way it made me feel so light and free. I also contemplated maybe Tracy Chapman's Fast Car.... I went to my first concert at Wolf Trap with my dad, we saw Tracy Chapman. We snuck in McDonald's cheeseburgers in our back pack. Ah, what a lovely time. I was about 10 or 11 years old. Thanks dad.

    David grey reminds me of my brother Ricky he passed away recently and my heart is broken. He was the best brother ever. He loved David and took me to see him in CT. I never felt pain like this.
