One last gaze upon the sun Bid farewell to everyone Kicked that bucket out the door Where I'm goin' I won't need it anymore Gonna lay my burden down Take a bird's eye look around From the tall pines of Carolina All the way to the Wall of China So I go sailing 'round the room Through my window, cross the silver moon No flesh and bone to hold me I'll finally set my soul free When I go sailing 'round the room Life may be just but a dream Rode my boat on down the stream To wake up on a different shore Wind up as something I ain't never been before I could be a drop of summer rain Fallin' down on an Oklahoma plain Gonna leave the world behind me Look around and you will find me So I go sailing 'round the room Through my window, cross the silver moon No flesh and bone to hold me I'll finally set my soul free When I go sailing 'round the room (I will be) In the smoke from Mauna Loa Morning mist on the Shenandoah (I will be) Grain of sand in the Kalahari Magnolia by the Mississippi (I will be) Bird song when the day is breaking Words of love when your heart is aching Blue bonnet by the highway I'll be everywhere and always When I go sailing 'round the room Through my window, cross the silver moon No flesh and bone to hold me I'll finally set my soul free When I go sailing 'round the room Through my window, cross the silver moon No flesh and bone to hold me I'll finally set my soul free When I go sailing 'round the room
