Analysis of Can I sail away?
Can I sail away?
Leave at night to never be seen.
Close my eyes to get ready to dream.
As the terror flashes, I get ready to scream.
Can I sail away?
Like a captain ready to explore.
Like a sergeant ready for war.
This trailing love follows Cupid's Arrow.
Her shooting star crossed my horizon.
Can I sail with you?
Be my companion the answer
The voice of my reason
The breeze of a new season
The taste of fall.
Can I sail with you?
Like the breath of God or the vibration, I feel as you get closer.
Like the Viper lashing onto its prey for survival.
Can I hold you close?
More the a choice my final decision. The greatest achievement!!!! Means more when you mean it.
No longer a question "I am ready for love."
