Take me away across the ocean 
Out in the horizon the night is falling 
Outside in the golden air 
Washed out and no one's there 
She said I'll need you there sometime 
Sunset in the breeze 
Drifting into me 
Our love will make it right this time 

So take me away across the ocean 
Out in the horizon the night is falling 
Take me away across the ocean 
Out in the horizon the night is falling 
Take me away across the ocean 
Out in the horizon the night is falling 

Skyline closing in 
Her eyes whispering 
Please swim across the night to find 
Underwater lights 
Shadows in disguise 
Your lips come close to mine in time 
Sunset in the breeze 
Drifting into me 
Our love will make it right this time 

So take me away across the ocean 
Out in the horizon the night is falling 
Take me away across the ocean 
Out in the horizon the night is falling
