 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, never fearing,
Always caring, persevering,
Sail on, sail on, sailor.
I work the seaways, flat 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,
Sail on, sail on sailor,
Sail on, sail on sailor.
(Sail on, sail on sailor)
