All caught up in the referee
Every worm has a symphony.
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony.
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Through the dark night, far away.
I am dying, forever cry young.
To be with you, who can say.
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Through the dark night, far away.
I am dying, forever crying.
To be with you, who can say.
Can you stand the miracles?
Just you wait and see.
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see.
Candice can do miracles.
The canvas can do miracles.
Every word is a sympathy
Every word is a symphony
If the wind is right you can sail away, find virility
...
It's not far to never-never land - reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the door of innocence again
...
Sailing takes me away to where I'm going, doo dit
Just a dream, the wind to carry me
...
Well it's not half bad for sanctuary, at least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
...
It's not far to never-never land, no reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy of innocence again
...
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
...
Well it's not far back to sanity, at least it's not for me
Much prefer my lyrics!
It's not far back to Santa Cruz.
It's not far back to sanity.
It's not far down the merry face.
It's not far down to paradise.
It's not far to Never-Never Land
For Reason 2 thru 10.
It's not far to Never-Never Land
No reason to pretend.
It's not far to the Meadowlands
It's not far to Never Never Land
The Meadowlands is a region in North Jersey close to New York City.
It's not far to the Netherlands.
It's not far to Never Neverland.
It's not fart to Never Never Land
It's not far to Never Never Land
Its not far back to Santa Fe
Its not far back to sanity
Mechanics can do miracles
The canvas can do miracles
Oh the cans can do miracles
Just you wait and see
baby believe me
It's not far to the nether land
no reason to pretend
and if the wind is alright you can find the joy
of your sense again
Oh the cans can do miracles
just you wait and see
baby believe me
Oh the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Baby believe me
It's not far to Never-Never Land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
baby belive me
Oh the kin-skinned and miracles, just you wait and see
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see.
Oh, the Cavs can do miracles
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Oh, they can, they can do miracles.
Oh, the canvas can do miracles.
Sailing takes me away to where I'm goin', doo doo de doo doo.
Sailing takes me away to where I've always heard it could be.
Sailing, takes me away to where I’ve always ribbit
Sailing, takes me away to where I’ve always heard it could be
Sailing
Takes me away to where I always hood it to be.
Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be.
Sailing
Takes me away to where I'm going, tutti-frutti.
Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be.
Stormy weather
Stormy waters
The cameras can do miracles
The canvas can do miracles
The campers can do miracles.
The canvas can do miracles.
The candles can do miracles
The canvas can do miracles
The candy can do miracles
Just you wait and see
The canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see.
The chemist can do miracles
Adjust your weight and see.
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see.
The chemist can do miracles
The canvas can do miracles
Cross Christopher's, "Sailing"
The ganders can do miracles.
The canvas can do miracles.
The ham is canned in miracles
Just you wait and see.
The canvas can do miracles

Well it's not far back to Santa Cruz.

Well it's not far down to parrot dike
At least it's not for me
If the wind is right you can sail away
And find some wells of tea
Oh, the candles can do miracles
Just you wait and see.
It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see.
Well, it's not far back to 70
Well, it's not far back to sanity
Well, it's not far back to Santa Fe
Well, it's not far back to sanity
Well, it's not far back to the cemetery
Well, it's not far back to sanity
When I'm sailing
All caught up in a web of lies
Every word is a symphony
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
You can withstand the miracle
Just you wait and see.
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see.
You can withstand the miracle
Just you wait and see.
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see.
