Intro

Verse 1

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

Chorus 1

Baby, 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

Instrumental

Verse 2

Like mercury gliding

A silver teardrop that falls

And I CAN'T HOLD ON

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 -

Though I know I must try

Chorus 2

Baby, 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

Verse 3

Like a dream on the ocean

Always drifting away

And I can't catch up

 She just skips away - on the tide

 She just slips away - on the tide

 Skips away - as she glides
