From the recording California

Lyrics
My brother was a working man,
He’d been one all his life
Mechanics hands, the family plan,
Two kids and a wife
Sail away, sail away
When I was just a young boy
He taught me how to play
This old guitar, and we’ve gone far
But he had more to say
Sail away, sail away
Sail away on the ocean, sail away across the sea
Sail away, these emotions, follow me
My brother was a working man
But out in his garage
An old wood boat, that barely floats
Sits like a mirage
Sail away, sail away
Late into the evening,
his work was never done
He’d scrape and sand, with calloused hands
And dreamed that she would one day
Sail away, sail away
Sail away on the ocean, sail away across the sea
Sail away these emotions, let it be, let it be
My brother was a working man,
With family and friends
A man apart, whose gentle heart
Took him in the end,
To sail away, sail away
