I am looking at vacations in a warm place, I would love to sail away from the darker days…you can always dream.
In this song, David Gray offers a getaway, telling a lady he’d like to sail away with her, putting his heart in her hands. He worked on the song over a number of years, writing and discarding verses along the way. It’s what he calls a “Frankenstein song” because it was cobbled together from so many parts assembled at different times.
This features in the 2001 Robert De Niro movie 15 Minutes and in the film Angel Eyes, released the same year.
