[Verse 1]
Oh, let me sail away
From the beach and lonely bay
The boats on the sea are blissfully free
They will come to no harm
'cause the waves are so calm

[Verse 2]
Oh, let me think a while
To the playground of your smile
The wind through the flame
Whistles your name
Though you said goodbye
You did not leave my mind

[Chorus]
Oh, I've got to get away
From this town, don't want to face
The ominous clouds
Oh, not now, not now, not now

I've got to find a place
Be myself and learn to face
The ominous clouds
But not now, not now, not now
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna sail away
Want to look back on the bay
And hide with my hand
What's left of the land
Though I leave it behind
It will not leave my mind

[Chorus]
Oh, I've got to get away
From this town, don't want to face
The ominous clouds
Oh, not now, not now, not now

I've got to find a place
Be myself and learn to face
The ominous clouds
But not now, not now, not now

[Chorus (Variation)]
Oh, not now, not now, not now
But not now, not now, not now
