Sailing Round The Room
Emmylou Harris
One last gaze upon the sun Bid farewell to everyone Kicked that bucket out the door Where I’m goin I won’t need it anymore Gonna lay my burden down take a birdseye look around From the tall pines of Carolina all the way to the Wall of China So I go sailing round the room through my window cross the silver moon No flesh and bone to hold me I’ll finally set my soul free When I go sailing round the room I will be in the smoke from Mauna Loa morning mist on the Shenandoah I will be grain of sand in the Kalahari magnolia by the Mississippi I will be bird song when the day is breaking words of love when your heart is aching I will be blue bonnet by the highway I’ll be everywhere and always
