I sailed an oceanunsettled ocean
Through restful waters and deep commotion
Often frightenedunenlightened
Sail onsail on sailor

I wrest the watersfight Neptune s waters
Sail through the sorrows of life s marauders
Unrepentingoften empty
Sail onsail on sailor

Caught like a sewer rat alone but I sail
Bought like a crust of breadbut oh do I wail

Seldom stumblenever crumble
Try to tumblelife s a rumble
Feel the stinging I ve been given
Never endingunrelenting
Heartbreak searingalways fearing
Never caringpersevering
Sail onsail onsailor

I work the seawaysthe gale-swept seaways
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Uninspireddrenched and tired
Wail onwail onsailor

Always needingeven bleeding
Never feeding all my feelings
Damn the thundermust I blunder
There s no wonder all I m under
Stop the crying and the lying
And the sighing and my dying

Sail onsail on sailor
Sail onsail on sailor
Sail onsail on sailor
Sail onsail on sailor
Sail onsail on sailor
Sail onsail on sailor
Sail onsail on sailor
