sail away
Head for horizon
To sail away is to depart by boat, moving across water toward the horizon or some distant destination: We watched the ship sail away at sunset.
The phrase often carries romantic or wistful connotations—escape, adventure, or leaving troubles behind: Sometimes I just want to sail away and never come back.
It appears frequently in song lyrics and poetry evoking freedom or longing.
