|
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 |
