"Sailing" is a song composed by Gavin Sutherland of the Sutherland Brothers in 1972, best known as a 1975 international hit for Rod Stewart. Written on the beach by Blythe Bridge, "Sailing" was recorded by the Sutherland Brothers – a duo consisting of Gavin and Iain Sutherland – in a June 1972 session: the brothers provided their own backing with Gavin on bass drum and Iain on harmonium and overdubbed their vocals. Issued as a single, the Sutherland Brothers' "Sailing" almost reached the official UK singles chart as "Sailing" peaked at No.54 in July 1972, and the single's sales were reportedly 40,000 units. The Sutherland Brothers had recorded "Sailing" subsequent to completing the tracks intended for their upcoming album release Lifeboat, and that album was issued in November 1972 without the inclusion of “Sailing"."Sailing" was recorded by Rod Stewart for his first album recorded in North America rather than Great Britain: Atlantic Crossing. The first single from the album, "Sailing" afforded Stewart an international hit notably in the UK where "Sailing" was No.1 for four weeks in 1975, augmented by a return to the UK chart in 1976 and – to a lesser extent 1987. “Sailing" has also been recorded by Joan Baez, Brotherhood of Man, the Nolan Sisters, Smokie, Dame Vera Lynn, Robin Trower, Roger Whittaker. Instrumental versions of "Sailing" have been recorded by The Shadows, the London Symphony Orchestra and Richard Clayderman.

Lyrics
I am sailing, I am sailing Home again 'Cross the sea
I am sailing, Stormy waters To be near you, To be free
I am flying, I am flying Like a bird 'Cross the sky
I am flying, Passing high clouds To be with you, To be free
Can you hear me, can you hear me Through the dark night, far away
I am dying, forever crying To be with you, who can say
We are sailing, we are sailing Home again 'Cross the sea
We are sailing Stormy waters To be near you, To be free
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free
I am sailing I am sailing Home again 'Cross the sea
I am sailing, Stormy waters To be near you, To be free
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free
Oh Lord, to be near you, to be free
