Testo Sail Away - Van Dyke Parks
Testo della canzone Sail Away (Van Dyke Parks), tratta dall'album Moonlighting-Live At The Ash Grove
When I desire company
I'll leave my footprints on the sand by a reckless sea
Hoping you'll come to me
And we'll explore what might have been
And leave this shore and give this tired old world a spin
When my ship will come in
Sun up, we'll sail away
The day that my ship comes in
Fast as the highest mast
Can take us to any old where but here
One captain's paradise for two
Sky and a sea that's twice as blue
It all waits for me and you
When my ship comes in
You go and get the telephone
Give it a real good yank, and thank God we're all alone
In a tropical zone
While we sort out the Caribbean
At every port a third world orders nouvelle cuisine
From that aquamarine
We'll tell our kind and gentle friends
There still is time to make amends
We'll send 'em a card that ends
"Till your ship comes in"
Sail away
Sail away
Just sail away
When my ship will come in
Sail away
Sail away
Just sail away
When my ship will come in
Oh, island in the sun
What I don't know won't hurt me none
When all's said and done
When my ship will come in
That perfect host in harmony
Will raise a toast to what's still left of my memory
When my ship will come in
Sail away
Sail away
Just sail away
When my ship will come in
Sail away
Sail away
Just sail away
When my ship will come in
The greatest American pianist who ever
Lived was Louis Moreau Gottschalk
He was born in New Orleans in 1829
He lived for 40 years
The night of June 6, 1857, Gottschalk sailed from Havana to
The island of St. Thomas and skirted the north shore of Haiti
The other passengers went below and as he remained
On deck, dark clouds fringed the southern horizon
A full moon shone unobstructed high in the heavens
The mountainous Haitian shore was distinctly defined
As he gazed toward the island, he recalled long-
Buried memories and felt overwhelmed by life's ironies
This is a man that Chopin called the king of all pianists
The man who played for Berlioz his monster compositions
With the use of sixty silver trumpets and so forth
They thought in numbers in those days, not corporate profit
His family went to New Orleans and he wrote
This piece called "Night in the Tropics"
