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 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
