Sail on
Tell the girl behind the counter
That I loved her once, but soon I must be gone
Sail on
Tell the world I’m gonna miss them
But I’ve gone to find a place where I belong
When you make up your mind?
I’ll tell you all my secrets as we slip between the city streets tonight
When you say your goodbyes?
Don’t let them see the tears that sparkle in your eyes
While you're sick and tired of feeling sorry for yourself
Life will chew you up and spit you out and put you on the shelf
And you will wake up every morning
Expecting to be free, you’ve gotta float on
Sail on
Tell the girl behind the counter
That I loved her once, but soon I must be gone
Sail on
Tell the world I’m gonna miss them
But I’ve gone to find a place where I belong
And time is on loan
All the hopes and dreams you had
Were left behind and taken by the storm
It won’t be long
And all the pain that’s in your life will soon be gone
While you're sick and tired of feeling sorry for yourself
Life will chew you up and spit you out and put you on the shelf
And you awoke a million times you were expecting to be free
You’ve gotta float on
Outta here
You and I
Will sail on
Tell the girl behind the counter
That I loved her once, but soon I must be gone
Sail on
Tell the world I’m gonna miss them
But I’ve gone to find a place where I belong
Sail on
Tell the girl behind the counter
That I loved her once, but soon I must be gone
Sail on
Tell the world I’m gonna miss them
But I’ve gone to find a place where I belong
Sail on
Tell the girl behind the counter
That I loved her once, but soon I must be gone
Sail on
Tell the world I’m gonna miss them
But I’ve gone to find a place where I belong
Sail on
