Life is an ocean. you sail the open sea.
shipwrecked and you wonder
if you're ever gonna be free.
sail on, sail on sailor
sail on, sail on sailor
You can't control life.
just dance with her like a lady.
fill your sails with fortitude
and ride her stormy waves. you've got to
sail on, sail on sailor
you've got to sail on, sail on sailor
Life can be empty with you whenever you've loved.
dead in the water. need a sign from above.
then you make love on the wake of love
and you mend emotion nets.
as your shaking, nearly breaking, and your mast is being bent.
shortest, of course, is the straight course.
never tacking has its risk.
you got to sail on, sail on sailor.
Life is a bitch and it takes a sturdy ship
to keep learnin' from ridin' the waves that crash
upon your weathered deck.
you've got to sail on, sail on sailor.
sail on, sail on sailor
it's your life - so
sail on, sail on sailor.
you weary sailor.
