1935 – Neil Young – Sail away (1979)

 

Escrita por Neil Young, foi gravada em 9 de setembro de 1977, no Triiad Recording Studios, em Fort Lauderdale, Flórida. Foi lançada em 22 de junho de 1979, no disco Rust never sleeps, o décimo de Neil. Foi produzida por Neil Young, David Briggs e Tim Mulligan. Neil tocou violão, gaita e cantou. Joe Osborn tocou baixo. Karl Himmel tocou bateria. Nicolette Larson fez backing vocals. A letra fala de um sentimento de liberdade que vem de alguém ser capaz de mudar sua vida.


A letra:


I could live inside a tepee
I could die
in Penthouse thirty-five
You could lose me on the freeway
But I would still
make it back alive.

As long as we can sail away
As long as we can sail away
There'll be wind in the canyon
Moon on the rise
As long as we can sail away.

See the losers in the best bars
Meet the winners in the dives
Where the people are the real stars
All the rest of their lives.

As long as we can sail away
As long as we can sail away
There'll be wind in the canyon
Moon on the rise
As long as we can sail away.

There's a road
stretched out between us
Like a ribbon on the high plain
Down from Phoenix through Salinas
'Round the bend and back again.

As long as we can sail away
As long as we can sail away
There'll be wind in the canyon
Moon on the rise
As long as we can sail away
As long as we can sail away.
