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 CAN'T HOLD ON
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
