I sail an ocean, unsettled ocean
|
Through restless water, 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 maurauders
|
Unrepenting, often empty
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
|
Caught like a sewer rat, alone but I see
|
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
|
Heartbreaks nearing, always fearing, never caring, persevering
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
|
I work the seaway (I work the seaway)
|
The gale swept seaway, (oh seaway)
|
Past shipwrecked daughters, (oh daughters)
|
Of wicked waters
|
Uninspired, drenched and tired
|
Wail on, wail on sailor
|
|
Always needing, ever bleeding, never feeding, all my feelings
|
Damn the thunder, must I blunder, there's no wonder, all I'm under
|
Stop your cryin', and the lyin', and the sighin', and my dyin'
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
|
(You've got to )
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
Sail on, sail on sailor
|
