Golden Earring Sail On Sailor Lyrics

Sail On Sailor Lyrics

From the Album:

* Lovesweat



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 Neptunes waters

Sail through the sorrow

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

Oh, did I wail

Seldom stumble, never crumble

Try to tumble, life's a thrumble

Feel the stinging, I've been given

Never ending, unrelenting

Haertbreak searing, always fearing

Never clearing, persevering

Sail on, sail on sailor

I work the sea - ways

The gale swept seaways

Past shipwrecked daughters

of wicked waters

Uninspired, drenched and tired

Sail 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
