Song | Sail On, Sailor |
Artist | The Beach Boys |
Album | The Departed |
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 sailBought like a crust of bread, but oh do | |
I wailSeldom 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 blunderThere’s no wonder all | |
I’m underStop 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... |
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 sailBought like a crust of bread, but oh do | |
I wailSeldom 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 galeswept 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 blunderThere' s no wonder all | |
I' m underStop 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... |
