Sail Away Lyrics:
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I want to hold you now, now, now
Crazy skies all wild above me now
Winter howling at my face
And everything I held so dear
Disappeared without a trace
Oh all the times I've tasted love
Never knew quite what I had
Little darling if you hear me now
Never needed you so bad
Spinning 'round inside my head
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I want to hold you now, now, now
I've been talking drunken gibberish
Falling in and out of bars
Trying to get some explanation here
For the way some people are
How did it ever come so far?
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I want to hold you now, now, now
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I want to hold you now, now, now
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
It'd break me up if you pulled me down, whoa
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I want to hold you now, now, now

Raise your hand if you hear this in 2024 👍
Depression is defeating me I don't have much more in me, I'm tired.
@@melv8948 Ano you don't know me but you have so much to live for please don't give up
@@melv8948don't give up. Listen to the song. It will save you. You are strong. Someone out there needs you.
not sure if you're serious, but Ive just had this chat with a friend. My best friend topped himself when we were 19. He didnt give talking a chance. There's always a glimmer of light, just make the effort to see it, even if it only gives you a day. That might be enough for the fog to lift.
I hope you're ok

This was my wedding song in 2003. My spouse passed away in 2006 and when I hear this song I picture his handsome face and smile. It brings me back and is painful but yet comforting. He had a rare cancer and passed at 32 years young. Today would have been my husbands 48th birthday and I thought I would listen to this song with our 16 year old son.
🎶💖🎶
No words but please accept the love I’m sending you!! My heart goes out to you xxxxx
💔💔💔💔
He still loves you as you love him, just in different dimensions
Lord knows why some have to suffer so
I've been listening to David Gray for more than 22 years, and always the same sensation and the same pleasure of listening to him, sublime voice, complete artist, he is simply a legend. Big greeting from Morocco.
One of the few British artists who didn’t sell their soul
RIP to my beautiful Mother 1956-2021 ❤️ - Someday we sail away together again!
Sorry for your loss
Let's hope 🙏
My mom died in 2014 and her ashes are in a box next to my stepdad’s on my boat. I’m honestly thinking about sprinkling them into the Chesapeake everywhere we travel in our boat. They absolutely LOVED being on the water and would be so proud of me and our boat. I miss them both so much too!
You will 👍
God bless
RIP to my queen Helen it's been 22 years but you'll never leave my heart. Still listening every night xxx
What a beautiful person you are.
David Gray is so underrated its not funny, his songs are pure and from the heart, this is REAL music.
I agree with you. I feel the same about the late Clifford T Ward and his songs. 😔
He did not sell his soul, like others do. I love him for that.
@@brightantwerp You took the words right out of mine (and probably so many people's) mouth these days.
Thank God for real music!!!
Think it was meant that he deserved a bit more credit,probably didn't suck up to the people running the music industry. God Bless.🙏
the genius of David gray got me through the worst time of my life ❤❤
David Gray is so underrated.What a brilliant songwriter and artist he is.
I like his music a lot but re:songwriting he's done a few covers...his version of Say hello and wave goodbye is the best version ever, I'm sure many can relate to the song, especially with his emotion put to it...
This is very true. He is the musician's musician.
@@gorideher /
ttblade Underrated by who ? Not by me far from it
@@tonyjlorns1727 Personally never heard of him until yesterday :)
This song brings me to tears thinking of my Son's passing,...what will be will be. God do I miss you Ian.
I'm sorry for Ian's passing.
always bring a tear to my eyes too. my best friend passed away 8 years today and is was his favourite song
oh sweetie im so sorry xo
Paul Smith sorry to hear that bless you and your family
Bless you xxxx
I’m a 36 year old man, my favourite song since I was 16 for no reason, but since my mother’s recent passing this song has purpose, it has meaning, it’s deep so please if you have dear ones please spend as much time with them as you can be so time waits for none of us, god bless and keep safe 💚
Played this song at my ex partner's funeral 2 days ago. He was the father of my 2 children and will always hold a special place in my heart. God bless you Sean. RIP.
Hey
May he Rest In Peace 🙏
Roman’s 10:9
If you profess by mouth Jesus is Lord and believe God raised him from the dead you will be saved
Once I had a broken heart... Played this tune for months whilst looking at the world through drunken glazed eyes.
I listen to it now with a true love beside me whilst we look at sunsets over the Atlantic living on the west coast of Ireland 🍀
Thanks Dave
Gwan the Irish
c'mon Ireland 💖💕✌ land of the broken hearted these days

❤️
Fair wind's are being prepared for the two of you now.
GOD prepares all things in readiness.
May GOD bless you both.
Aww so sorry hope ur.ok
Reading all these comments from people sharing their experiences and personal relationship with this song. Life is just about our experiences. This is me reminding myself to be happy and not care about things that don't matter. Love yourself as you are because there is only one you in this world. Be good to others not because they are good but because you are.
You know that........x
Well said 👍
Great words that will mean so much to a lot of peaple 👍
👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻 exactly
True mate 👍🏼
Rest I'm peace to my mother who passed in 2018 when I was only 12. This was a song we sang together many times... I'm now turning 17 in November and I've crawled out of a serious hell of coping with the loss. I was forced moved to a new school with much better peers and I've changed and matured a lot. I wish she was here to see where I am now. I miss you mom
So sorry xx
I get you buddy, i lost my love my wife my blood brother after 52 years together, have seen a good part of the world together and always looking what was hiding behind the horizon for us . we were not done with living, but you have to go on and we will always miss our loved ones . be strong.

Wish u all the best my friend 🧡
💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️
This was my wedding song too in 2005 and it’s 20th Anniversary next year and we are stronger than ever ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Emma, I’m sure your mum loved you dearly. ❤️
Still loves you hunney xxx
💚
❤
RIP to all our mothers. Till we meet again.
Just heard this song on the radio for the first time. So moved by it I had to come here to look it up and find out who the artist is. I am blown away by this talent called David Gray.
Glad you discovered him ❤
U must be under 25 to not have heard this song. Ameazeing song
@@lukefloyd3693 🙃 No, the other direction actually... ancient! 😄
Welcome to the party pal ❤
@@jaymerrydew6479 Will I ever be able to listen to it without crying for both my deceased hubands?
I do doubt it. ❤

I released 20 monarch butterflies this morning to this playing.. it was the most beautiful thing ever..
Funny guy 😂
Beautiful
Such a beautiful song. Always loved David Gray's music and I am a thrash metaller. Good music crosses all boundaries
Amen
Amen
White ladder is a double classic. Awesome songs throughout.....He is a true masterpiece........
This song is on another level! The lyrics are hauntingly beautiful... that lovely shake in his voice always gets me... and he puts his every emotion to this! Gives me all the feels..shivers!!!!
I absolutely agree it's a stunning gorgeous song....eerie but the best xx
Musics healing power is amazing, it connects humans in universal language. It's a life vest we cling to in a stormy sea when we're drowning emotionally, mentally or literally.
Rest easy papa. Thank you for always whistling with this song, i love that when almost 6 years later, I hear it clear as day. You'll forever be my man on the moon ❤
My husband had committed suicide 26 months ago, we had two small children at the time. Arabella had just turned 1 the month before and Marc Paul was turning 3 the month after.. but my son loves this song because it was mine and his daddy song, and it's his favorite
so sorry :(
Ashley Lawrence beautiful stay strong X.
Life has its ways and sometimes it's cruel but music will always soothe the soul
sorry to hear love x
😢
Mom is sailing in heaven. Every time I sail I know you are with us. I love you Mom.
Love finds the way back to love.
Could this guy be one of the most underestimated artist of our era?
No gimmicks, no platform shoes, no ziggy make up on his face, not to decry those who done that. They were very good.
But this guy's just bread & butter, very good bread & butter. I feel like I could go out for a pint with him anytime, he has no hint of star ego. + I like freshly baked bread & butter, with maybe some strawberry jam, who doesn't?
Perfectly said
Mancunian guy
This was played at my mothers funeral 5 months ago.. this is the first time I've listened to it since.. can't help but shed a tear.. special song for a special person.
Still falling in and out of bars .
The Dream. Just sail away from this terrible life.
God Bless
Stay STRONG. for your MOTHER, And live.;-)
N Boy stay strong x
This song gives me nostalgic chills. So good.
Brings back the best of memories
this is one of my all time favorite songs, ever!
One of mine, and didn't even know it, haha. Richard Hawley "The Ocean" seems an appropriate song to follow now whilst soaking in a muscle relaxing bath after footy :D .. Peace!!
We have so much in common already
@@alluringasymmetry best reply ever
🌟🎶🌟💜😁
Yep. Me to.
love all the positive comments ❤❤❤ There's hope for humanity yet xxx
i doubt it but us in the know will die happy !!
Totally agree
Everbody will die but remember keep calm down and lets move on for new day.
I remember walking into my Grandma's room at the retirement home she lived in temporarily and she was playing White Ladder almost every time...
Went to a funeral today and this song was played. I'd forgotten what a beautiful song it is so have added it to a playlist so I will not forget it again
😢
My momma passed away three and a half months ago. I was in the middle of trying to get all of the arrangements done. I was coming to a halt with everything and this song came on. I had heard it many times, but it never felt so strong in the emotions in the loss of her passing. I played this at her service. This song I will for ever be greatful for you . Thank you, much love.
This is one of the greatest songs of the 90s, David Gray is so under rated. Just so unique! So many memories with this song.
Love love him
Kyle,
If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand. I will never understand God’s reasons for taking you but son, one day we will sail away together for eternity.
Lifetimes of Love,
Mom
💜💜💜 sending my love 💜
Thinking of u 😢
Keep your head held high and make his life live on forever god bless
This is tragic! Your words however, are beautiful and you have a gorgeous soul. The world needs more healing energy like that.
This made me cry
Such A Great Song!!!!!!
To all of you that replied these 3 years with love and shared pain, thank you! Well all be sailing away someday.
Who can sit there and listen to his music and your tears roll down your face
I find myself singing at the top of my voice
@@stephentowers9209 that as well 😄
This shit honestly makes me break down every damn time I listen to it, the depth, the beauty, yet all the pain in this song is, just indescribably beautiful
This song foreshadowed what's waiting me.
We played this at our wedding in Hyde Park Sydney, outdoor wedding under a chapel of Paperbark trees, with our closest friends and family with us. Never forget that moment
Beautiful; reminds me of Dad. When I was at my older sister's wedding this June and she did her father daughter dance with my dad, to a country song she chose, I thought to myself what would I choose? And I decided most likely David Grays Babylon because that song sticks out from my childhood with my father, but this is an amazing choice too. I just remember growing up listening to this man's unique voice and the way it made me feel so light and free. I also contemplated maybe Tracy Chapman's Fast Car.... I went to my first concert at Wolf Trap with my dad, we saw Tracy Chapman. We snuck in McDonald's cheeseburgers in our back pack. Ah, what a lovely time. I was about 10 or 11 years old. Thanks dad.
What a great memory
I only heard this song for the first time ever a few days ago, I went into town to run some errands. As I was eating a sandwich and drinking coffee I sat down on a bench and this busker started playing the guitar and singing this song, out of nowhere I started crying like mad😭🙈 the lyrics and the song in general moved me to the core and brought up feelings of deep sadness, loss, regret and helplessness I stored away in my mind for a long long time! I’m a mess every time I listen to this song! It’s been ages since a song moved me so much and touched my soul! Thank you David Gray for this masterpiece 🙏🏻🙌🏻
You were meant to hear it......🥰🥰🥰 xxxxx
Destiny...
Oh lovely! music is the power of everything xx
You will love... The one I love.
I was lying in bed one evening feeling so lonely. Turned on the radio and this song was playing. Sail away away with me honey I put my heart in your hand. I want to hold you now, now, now. His voice affected me. The song comforted me.
Appreciate the ones you love cuz it's never the same when they're gone..
100% David Gray at his best.
The truth
Bang on pal
I've cried to this so many times, I'll never tire of this song ❤️
😢
Me too
There is no possible way I can describe how much this song means to me.
well you could try
Tania Haque me too
Like me.....
And you clearly stuck to your word and didn't describe it, go you tanya
Tania Haque this was my wedding dance song
sometime I will sail away with my son, my mother, and my husband
God speed all the wonderful people , and may he relieve their pain and suffering.
Here in 2020 locked down and still wanting and waiting for the love of my life to come back to me. I'm waiting. I may die waiting for her but I will wait. Peace
@@jennyperrio4887 That is so beautiful and kind. It is hard and you are right. I should move on. I just don't seem to be able to. Thank you for the kind thoughts and words. I pray you find happiness too.
Jim. Same here.Waiting for the girl of my dreams.
@@jennyperrio4887 Will you marry me?
@@jennyperrio4887 You sound like such a lovely person and where you live sounds lovely as well. I'm living in Kentucky now. Have lived many states but Kentucky is home for now. Drop me a line. j.mharris12@yahoo.com I'd love to stay in touch.
@@jennyperrio4887 Hi and yes. Your town looks lovely!
Dont know why, but i love to depress myself with songs that relate to my past experiences of love/loss etc, sometimes that little bit of the connection that is left with memories the song brings is hard to let go because its all thats left, still better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all...
D Maca so true..
Your not the only the only one x
I’m the same
Fuck some of the realist shit I’ve read in a while
Same mate
I was in rehab for 6 months in 2001 and this was the only CD (white ladder) that was played. Every bit of it was burned into my neurons.
This was my mums funeral song in 2017, she lost her battle to cancer at only 40 years of age, ill forever listen to this and remember the moment I lost a piece of my heart
Bless you. Your mum is always right at your side.
I feel your pain my dad died of it and mum is hopefully all clear. God bless you and If you want to talk just say k.
So sorry to hear about your mum..
My sister died almost a year ago and this was her funeral song too..she loved this song..
Beautiful lyrics..x
This was also my mother's funeral song that year.. keep it together for her I'm sure she's very proud of you..
Bless your sweet and precious heart
love this song,don't know why i scroll through the comments as they destroy me,i hope you all find the strength to carry on with our losses,it never goes away,never gets easier but we learn to accept over time,love to you all
I bought my first album in 2000. It was David Gray White ladder. I've listened to it hundreds of times.
Great first album, class 👍
What a song, hits you hard !!
This will be the first song I’ll sail off too when I’m retired!
Anybody listening in June 2019, or for the rest of there lives, xx
Yes!! This song is still relevant!
Of course.
True songs never die.
Dead Zone Amen man yes sir
Great songs will stand the test of time ❤❤❤❤
Dead Zone obviously we are David doesn’t go out of fashion
July 2019 and going strong.. hope you are having a fabulous day!
I remember chatting to David many many years ago when I was a teenager and he was busking in the streets of Galway.
Rest in peace mum 1958-2023
I rarely post; as I do not use a moniker. My youtube profile is my name. One September I lost my job, I had to end a relationship of four years and my very old cat was consumed by coyotes. It was a life learning curve. I took an escape journey and ended up at Quadra Island. Riding down a tight road with wildlife - a bald eagle flew so close to me I could hear the wind of its wings - and making my path towards Kwagiulth Museum and Cultural Center, I settled by the waves. I had my little iPod. And I had my bike. And I had many tears. The repeat on my music was David Gray. It could have been anything else, but that particular music brought me solace. And most importantly, acceptance. Every expression of anything written could be a personal metaphor for those who read or listen to it. David Gray's music happened to work me through grief. It is only recently I have started listening to his voice and words again. And I will forever be grateful. And I will always remember the waves on the rocks at that special place.
+Lisa Wegner . . . . . Hello Lisa! Thank you for sharing that.
+Lisa Wegner Poor cat.
Thank you for sharing your story, Lisa. :) I hope life is better now!
+Christopher28fair I realized later that he was ready to leave on his terms. His health was suffering and it looks as though nature spared me the agony of having to make the decision of when to have him put down. He had a good life; a shelter cat that no one looked at for years. It was love at first sight. :-)
+Benjamin McManus Thank you. Although a very challenging time, it turned out to be serendipitous. I truly believe 'everything is for a reason'.
Absolutely beautiful song. I can listen to it over and over and never grow tired of it. Definitely one of my faves of all time.
Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I want to hold you now, now, now

Disappeared without a trace
Oh all the times I've tasted love

Sail away with me honey now, now, now

Falling in and out of bars

Sail away with me honey now, now, now
Sail away with me

Sail away with me honey
I put my heart in your hands
It'd break me up if you pulled me down, whoa
Sail away with me
What will be will be
I want to hold you now, now, now
Your writing of the song is magnificent, thank you, I really enjoyed it
This is what Music should be! Lyrics that take your mind away or towards whatever emotion/memory your feeling needs to be explored! For me a man of 28 who lost his father when I was 11 and mother to cancer 2 days before my 21st... they both used this in there times of happiness and when feeling sad! I use it in the same manor to help with certain memories and emotions!
David Gray will be in my life!
My favourite David Gray song of all time............So emotional
one of the greatest love songs i've ever heard ...
sailing away havinga drink
This song is so relaxing. What an absolute tune ❤
This guy could pick up any book and sing to the text and it would still sound great.
2016 and I'm still listening to this. What a voice! Timeless. Evidently some people are fucking hard of hearing
Oi! you! I am hard of hearing and love this - just have to turn it up a lil :)
Billy Rand same
i love the song can sing as well as him david grey
Another timeless vocal you may appreciate is that of a band called Ye Olde Avalon because the lead singer sounds remarkably close to David Gray.
i hope you don't mind me telling you about them.
enjoy.
well said
So sorry about your grandfather... heartbreaking. I lost my father 2 years ago... the hurt never leaves... certain songs almost drag me to my knees if I listen to them that remind me of my pops... we have to remember the good times... what else can we do... no options. appreciate everything... people you love..
I can't sleep tonight - I lost my mom Sept.1st and the agony is worse as each day goes by. Yes, my heart is torn in bits. We were best friends. No regrets, no guilt. She was a real pip. Trying to be strong. But I miss her so.
Laurie B
I lost my dear friend and mother 2/15/17 so I do feel your pain .
So sorry I'm 60 and listening to my past what brilliant times with ace music xx
So sorry you are all suffering life isn't good bless you all xx
It's amazing just how much color that tamborine hit gives to the entire oldschool sound. Great number!
Absolutely beautiful song ! Loved it first time! ❤

Hi there
Tears are uncontrollable
this song is divine
Who are these people that gave this thumbs down? A wonderful song sung by a great artist
A truly beautiful song, melancholy yet full of hope, passion and longing.
David is legend now
David grey reminds me of my brother Ricky he passed away recently and my heart is broken. He was the best brother ever. He loved David and took me to see him in CT. I never felt pain like this.
Soz for your big loss, but at least you have the memory of him which is there forever
