Deep Purple - Sail Away

Deep Purple - Sail Away (written by David Coverdale & Ritchie Blackmore, from the album "Burn" 1974)

If you're driftin' on an empty ocean with no wind to fill your sail
The future, your horizon. It's like searchin' for the Holy Grail
You feel there's no tomorrow as you look into the water below
It's only your reflection and you still ain't got no place to go
CHORUS:
Time will show. When, I don't know. Sail away tomorrow. Sailin' far away
To find it steal or borrow I'll be there someday, yeah

Oh woman, I keep returnin' to sing the same old song
The story's been told, now I'm gettin' old. Tell me, where do I belong?
Feel like I'm goin' to surrender. Hard times I've had enough
If I could find a place, to hide my face I believe, I could get back up
CHORUS + repeat

Jethro Retekin is drifting on the ocean with no winds in his sail. He eats his last apple before deciding to use his 'special ability' to get home. A gift he 'received' after having been bitten by a mimeoraptor. This is part 1 of a trilogy of videos/songs. It is followed by Black Sabbath - Laguna Sunrise.
