Orinoco Flow

Song performed by Enya, produced by Nicky Ryan, co-produced by Enya and Ross Cullum. Some verses presented here are sung but not included in the booklet.


let me sail, let me sail, let the Orinoco flow,
let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli.
let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore,
let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.

[back vocal:]
(and turn it...)
(sail away...)

from Bissan to Palan - in the shade of Avalon,
from Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
from Bali to Cali - from beneath the Coral Sea.

[back vocal:]
(and turn it...)
(turn it up...)
(sail away...)

from the North to the South, Ebndae into Khartonm,
from the deep Sea of Clouds to the Island of the Moon,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never been,
carry me on the waves to the lands I've never seen.

we can sail, we can sail...
with the Orinoco flow
we can sail, we can sail... (sail away...)
we can steer, we can near with Rob Dickens at the wheel,
we can sigh, say Good bye Ross and his dependencies
we can sail, we can sail... (sail away...)
let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli.
we can sail, we can sail... (sail away...)
from Bali to Cali - from beneath the Coral Sea.
we can sail, we can sail... (sail away...)
from Bissan to Palan - in the shade of Avalon,
we can sail, we can sail... (sail away...)
let me reach, let me beach far beyond the Yellow Sea.
we can sail, we can sail... (sail away...)
from Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
we can sail, we can sail... (sail away...)
we can sail, we can sail... (sail away...)
(sail away...)
