Like a dream on the ocean   Always drifting away   And I can't catch up   She just skips away on the tide      Sometimes a great notion   Can lead you astray   So weak to devotion   So strong to desire      Come on baby, baby won't you let me ride   Take me off on your sail boat ride   Come on Angels, are on your side   She slips away oh, never stays      Like mercury gliding   Silver teardrop that falls   And I can't hold her   Through my fingers, she's gone      Through my fingers, she's gone   Through my fingers, she's gone   Through my fingers, she's gone   Through my fingers, she's gone   Through my fingers, she's gone   Through my fingers, she's gone      At the foot of the mountain   Such a long way to climb   How will I ever get up there   But I know I must try      Come on baby, baby won't you let me ride?   Take me off on your sail boat ride   Come on now Angels, are on your side   But she slips away oh, and never stays      Like a dream on the ocean   Always drifting away   And I can't catch up      She just skips away on the tide   Just slips away on the tide   She just slips away on the tide   Aah skip away, she glides, she glides
