Talking July Lyrics Challenge I

Before we talk about the new challenge, lets all give a round of applause for Helly's faithfulness in being the first in leading this challenge!
Thank you, Helly for starting this and allowing it to be passed on.
For the short time that I have been here, I have met some really nice people, who like to help each other and have a great 'ole scrappin' time. I am so excited to be leading the Lyrics Challenge beginning this month.
Been back to the '70's lately?


Come Sail Away will be our first song this month.
In case you've never heard it, here is the You tube link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BARLfUmyBJA
Here are the lyrics:

Written by Dennis De young
Lead vocals by Dennis Deyoung


I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
I’ve got to be free, free to face the life that’s ahead of me
On board, I’m the captain, so climb aboard
Well search for tomorrow on every shore
And Ill try, oh Lord, Ill try to carry on

I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But well try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

And HERE are the NEW Guidelines:
Your layout must contain:
1. In some form, a portion of the lyrics
2. One of the nouns from the lyrics- (see the orange words)
3. A sailboat of any size.

Here's our link to see the posting prize from Rebecca_psp! (ya know its gotta be good!)

Don't forget to link up your layout to the challenge and keep track of your points here!
So, are you ready? Let's face the wind and get this voyage started!!!
