Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I sailed an ocean, unsettled ocean

Through restful waters and deep commotion

Often frightened, unenlightened

Sail on, sail on, sailor

[Verse 2]

I wrest the waters, fight Neptune's waters

Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders

Unrepenting, often empty

Sail on, sail on, sailor

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways

Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters

Uninspired, drenched, and tired

Wail on, wail on, sailor

[Verse 5]

Always needing, even bleeding

Never feeding all my feelings

Damn the thunder, must I blunder

There's no wonder I'm all under

Stop the crying and the lying

And the sighing and my dying

[Outro]

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

Sail on, sail on, sailor

Sail on, sail on, sailor

Sail on, sail on, sailor
