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 [Bridge] Caught like a sewer rat, alone, but I sail Bought like a crust of bread, but oh, do I wail [Chorus] 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 clearing, persevering Sail on, sail on, sailor [Verse 3] I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters Uninspired, drenched and tired Wail on, wail on, sailor [Chorus] 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 [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
