sail on sailor

beach boys

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
