Paul Weller

Verse 1
Like a dream on the ocean
Always drifting away
And I can't catch up
She just skips away - on the tide
Sometimes a great notion
Can lead you astray
So weak to devotion
So strong to desire
Chorus 1
Baby, baby, baby won't you let me ride
Take me off on your sail boat ride
Come on now angels, are on your side
But she slips away - oh, and never stays
Instrumental
Verse 2
Like mercury gliding
A silver teardrop that falls
And I CAN'T HOLD ON
Through my fingers she's gone
At the foot of the mountain
Such a long way to climb
How will I ever get up there -
Though I know I must try
Chorus 2
Baby, baby, baby won't you let me ride
Take me off on your sail boat ride
Come on now angels, are on your side
But she slips away - oh, and never stays
Verse 3
Like a dream on the ocean
Always drifting away
And I can't catch up
She just skips away - on the tide
She just slips away - on the tide
Skips away - as she glides
End: Repeat Intro Riff
