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
