lyrics

Cinema Pictures (Loved to Sail)

What would you gain by leaving?
But what could I claim for living?
We all love you in cinema pictures
‘Sailing On’, ‘Times Blue’

You loved to sail
We love to hear your breathing
You loved to sail
You hoped to work with children - some day

Now what do you care for laughing?
Too young, too soon - in cinema pictures
I’ve seen you nude - in spinning home movies
‘Turning Off’, ‘Tiny Sue’

You loved to sail
You hoped to work with children
And we’d die for fame
Will you die for fame now fading - away

You feed the birds from a platform in the atmosphere
Summer burns ‘til the rain falls here
Turning on to the East and Southern hemispheres
Moving on – where a star can shine

You loved to sail
We love to hear you’re breathing
And we’d die for fame
Will you die for fame now fading – away
