Sail On, Sailor

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 sailBought like a crust of bread, but oh do

I wailSeldom 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 blunderThere’s no wonder all

I’m underStop 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...
