About Sailing

According to the Sailing Songfacts, Stewart recorded his version of this Sutherland Brothers song at the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama with a choir assembled by Bob Crewe, the Four Seasons' producer. It became his third UK chart-topper and the following year, it was revived following it's use as the theme music for a BBC TV documentary series about the HMS Ark Royal, this time peaking at #3. The combined sales of the 2 releases meant this is Stewart's biggest ever selling single in the UK with 955,111 copies sold. .

Sailing Lyrics

[00:13.77] I am sailing, I am sailing
[00:21.35] Home again 'cross the sea
[00:29.00] I am sailing, stormy waters
[00:36.33] To be near you, to be free
[00:43.74] I am flying, I am flying
[00:51.46] Like a bird 'cross the sky
[00:59.29] I am flying, passing high clouds
[01:06.58] To be with you, to be free
[01:14.30] Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
[01:21.89] Through the dark night, far away
[01:29.66] I am dying, forever crying
[01:37.04] To be with you, who can say
[01:44.59] Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
[01:52.19] Through the dark night far away
[01:59.73] I am dying, forever crying
[02:07.40] To be with you, who can say
[02:15.29]
[02:46.66] We are sailing, we are sailing
[02:54.09] Home again 'cross the sea
[03:01.67] We are sailing stormy waters
[03:09.09] To be near you, to be free
[03:16.04] Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free
[03:23.00] Oh my Lord, to be near you, to be free
[03:30.61] Oh my Lord, to be near you, to be free
[03:38.09] Oh Lord
[03:39.69]
