Golden Earring - Sail on Sailor lyrics

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 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 tumble

Feel the stinging, I've been giving

Never ending, unrelenting

Heartbreak searing, always fearing

Never clearing, persevering

Sail on, sail on sailor

I work the seaways

The gale swept seaways

Past shipwrecked daughters

of wicked waters

Uninspired, drenched and tired

Sail on, 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

Sail on, sail on sailor

Sail on, sail on sailor

Sail on, sail on sailor
