FIDLER In loving memory of our son Ben Fidler and our brother Montrose (Monte) Fidler Taken from Come Sail Away by Styx, 1977 I'm sailing away, Set an open course, for the virgin sea Cause 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 We'll search for tomorrow, on every shore And I'll try, Oh Lord I'll try, to carry on I look to the sea Reflections in the waves, spark my memories Some happy, some sad I think of childhood friends, and the dreams we had We lived happily forever, so the story goes But somehow we missed out, on the pot of gold But we'll 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 lads Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me baby Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me
