I sailed an ocean, unsettled ocean
|
Through restful waters and deep commotion
|
Often frightened, unenlightened
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
|
I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters
|
Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders
|
Unrepenting, often empty
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
|
Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
|
Bought like a crust of bread, but oh do I wail
|
|
Seldom stumble, never crumble
|
Try to tumble, life's a rumble
|
Feel the stinging I've been given
|
Never ending, unrelenting
|
Heartbreak searing, always fearing
|
Never caring, persevering
|
Sail on, sail on, sailor
|
|
I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways
|
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
|
Uninspired, drenched and tired
|
Wail on, wail on, sailor
|
|
Always needing, even bleeding
|
Never feeding all my feelings
|
Damn the thunder, must I blunder
|
There's no wonder all I'm under
|
Stop the crying and the lying
|
And the sighing and my dying
|
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
