Sail On, Sailor
Lyrics
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
