A Ship Without a Sail Lyrics

A Ship Without a Sail - Ella Fitzgerald

I don't know what day it is

Or if it's dark or fair

Somehow that's just the way it is

And I don't really care

 

I go to this or that place

I seem alive and well

My head is just a hat place

My breast an empty shell

 

And I've a faded dream to sell

 

All alone all at sea

Why does nobody care for me

 

When there's no love to hold my love

 

Why is my heart so frail

 

Like a ship without a sail

 

Out on the ocean

Sailors can use a chart

 

I'm on the ocean

 

Guided by just a lonely heart

Still alone still at sea

 

Still there's no one to care for me

 

When there's no hand to hold my hand

 

Life is a loveless tale

 

For a ship without a sail

 

Still alone still at sea

 

Still there's no one to care for me

 

When there's no hand to hold my hand

 

Life is a loveless tale

 

 

For a ship without a sail
