Don't Sail Away by 張惠妹

I didn't pay attention to A-mei's recent album until I heard my colleague sang this song in the karaoke the other day.
Also never thought A-mei would sing a little bit of jazz...
The melody is pretty good; however, I thought A-mei could improve on her pronunciation.
Then, everything would be perfect.

Don't sail away by 張惠妹

Alone on a sailboat lost at sea
I did not recognize the skies above me
My compass was just spinning 'round and 'round
It was just spinning 'round

And then with a gust of wind things changed
Set off on a course that seemed to me quite strange
I was heading through the air straight for the moon
Straight for the moon

And when I landed he took my hand
We dined and we danced with the stars
He asked me to stay in this dreamland
But the wind called out so I went instead
Then he turned to me and said

Don't sail away
Don't sail away from me
Don't sail away
We could have such a lovely time
Don't sail away
Don't sail away from me
Don't sail away
You could stay and just be mine
I told hime not this time

The wind carried me across deep spaces
I visited many times and many places
I drifted till my boat came to a stop on destiny's rooftop

Inside I played chess with destiny
I saw a way to win so very easily
But he was taking far too long to make his move
Destiny wouldn't move

So I turned mhy boat back towards that dreamland
And I filled the sails with my breath
When I landed he took my hand
Thought the wind called out I remained instead
He still turned to me and said

Don't sail away
Don't sail away from me
Don't sail away
We could have such a lovely time
Don't sail away
Don't sail away from me
Don't sail away
You could stay and just be mine
I like to stay for a lifetime

I like to stay~
We can have such a lovely time
Don't sail away~
Don't sail away~
You could stay and just be mine
