Like a dream on the ocean

Always drifting away

And I can't catch up

She just skips away - on the tide

Sometimes a great notion

Can lead you astray

So weak to devotion

So strong to desire



Baby, baby, baby won't you let me ride

Take me off on your sail boat ride

Come on now angels, are on your side

But she slips away - oh, and never stays



Like mercury gliding

A silver teardrop that falls

And I will never hold her

Through my fingers she's gone



At the foot of the mountain

Such a long way to climb

How will I ever get up there -

Though I know I must try



Baby, baby, baby won't you let me ride

Take me off on your sail boat ride

Come on now angels, are on your side

But she slips away - oh, and never stays



Like a dream on the ocean

Always drifting away

And I can't catch up

She just skips away - on the tide



She just slips away - on the tide

Skips away - as she glides
