On board, I'm the captain
So climb aboard
We'll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try to carry on

Actually, I am not sure if this is sad or happy. . . . maybe it depends on what is going on when one is listening. |
indeed, and one's interpretation of the song. i love that entire song though.
for me, it becomes most energizing at this point:
Quote:
I thought that they were angels
But to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship
And headed for the skies

And that high-note variant on the melody on "the skies" is not only a "surprise" (at least on first hearing of the song), but embodies the idea of lifting off, flying away... just ... it really takes me away.
i start hearing the subsequent "come sail away" parts as invitations to sail away on the starship... (it is just how it feels).
In this case, it is inconsequential for the purposes of my experience that they are aliens and not angels. It's the simple thought of flying away...
