I'm a very lonely man And I live from day to day Watching life go by my door Never pausing for delay I'm suspended in a dream Like an actor in a play Crossing endless boundaries To another time and place So climb aboard and set the sail Join me on my treasure trail We're sailing round and round in circles Living in a fairytale Yes climb aboard, come sail with me On this ship of fools we'll be You don't need to be afraid It's only just a fairytale Climb the spiral staircase To a land of make believe Walk on gilded splinters To escape reality Fly your silver spaceship To the mountains of the moon Close your eyes and count to 10 We can be there pretty soon So climb aboard and set the sail Join me on my treasure trail We're sailing round and round in circles Living in a fairytale Yes climb aboard, come sail with me On this ship of fools we'll be You don't need to be afraid It's only just a fairytale
