Through restful waters and deep commotion

Sail through the sorrows of life's marauders
Unrepenting, often empty
Sail on, sail on sailor

Verse 3:
I work the seaways, the gale-swept seaways
Past shipwrecked daughters of wicked waters
Uninspired, drenched and tired
Sail on, wail on, sailor
Bridge 2:
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
Coda (repeat to fade):
Ebmaj7 F G
Sail on, sail on, sailor
