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   Sail on, sail on sailor   Sail on, sail on sailor   Sail on, sail on sailor   Sail on, sail on sailor
