I asked to her name She said it was Jane Oh how I thought it's a beautiful name What brings you here to sit by the sea Someone is painting a portrait of me And as I sit in this old wicker chair Knitting a scarf for my sister to wear And watching the sailboats sail in the breeze I'm thinking of home and my good family Sail away taking a holiday Sail away taking a holiday The blue in the sky was the blue in her eye And the color of her hair was brown And as she turned I saw was the same The color of her face and the sun going down. Sail away taking a holiday Sail away taking a holiday Sail [?] the sea What can the sails wide and [?] Great [?] It's been many years since I have been to the sea Watching the sailboats sailing the breeze And finding myself in an old part of town Looking for faces that just on the ground There she sits in that old wicker chair Knitting a scarf for her sister to wear I don't think I'll ever remember her name But there on the wall just exactly the same.
