Sail Away (Ace Of Clubs) - Pet Shop Boys

«This is the story of a ship»

(Noël Coward opening narration

of his classic 1942 patriotic film «In Which We Serve»

based on the World War II naval actions

of Captain Lord Louis Mountbatten

and the sinking of the HMS Kelly

during the Battle of Crete)

When the storm clouds are riding

through a winter sky

Sail away, sail away

When the lovelight is fading

in your sweetheart’s eye

Sail away, sail away

When you feel your song

is orchestrated wrong

Why should you prolong your stay?

When the wind and the weather

blow your dreams sky high

Sail away, sail away, sail away

When your life seems to difficult

to rise above

Sail away, sail away

When your heart feels as dreary

as a worn-out glove

Sail away, sail away

But when soon or late

you recognise your fate

That will be your great, great day

On the wings of the morning

with your own true love

Sail away, sail away, sail away
