Emmylou Harris Sailing Round the Room Lyrics

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
Chorus:
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
