Sail On Sailor Lyrics By The 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 galeswept 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

    sail on sail on sailor
    sail on sail on sailor
    sail on sail on sailor
    sail on sail on sailor
    sail on sail on sailor
    sail on sail on sailor
    sail on sail on sailor
