I am just a lonely sailor,
Passing the time away.
I sail along in a crystal dream,
searching and feeling my way.
Longing still for a harbor safe,
Wishing still, that it was built
on the shores of yesterday.
Sail on is my plea,
Sail on this eternal sea.
Awash with waves of time,
Going under from a broken mind.
Sail on,
anchors away,
sink or swim
Loosing my grip
on today.
Land ho, land ho,
yet its is of a place
That I do not know
Sail on,
oh lonely sailor,
Sail on to a better day.
