Sail On, Sailor

Sail On, Sailor - Various Artists

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 I work the seaways

The gale swept seaways on the seaways

Past shipwrecked daughters your daughter

Of wicked waters

Uninspired

Drenched and tired

Wail on wail on sailor

Always needing

Even bleeding

Never feeding

All my feelings

D**n 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
