| 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 needling, even bleeding Never feeding all my feelings Damn the thunder, must i blunder There's no wonder, woo all i'm under Stop the crying and the lying And the sighting and my dying Sail on, sail on, sailor - Sail On Sailor lyrics written by The Beach Boys |
