Sailing

I've been sailing, I've been sailing so so long,
I've been loving, I've been loving so so long,
Oh but the joke was on me,
Because she set me free, I didn't realise,
But the joke was on me,
Because she set me free, I didn't realise,
I've been sailing, I've been sailing so so long,
I've been loving, I've been loving so so hard,
Oh but the joke was on me,
Because she set me free, I didn't realise,
But the joke was on me,
Because she set me free, I didn't realise,
I ride on a mailtrain honey, I can't buy me no thrill,
I'll be up all night long, waiting on your window sill,
And if I should die on top of the hill,
If I don't make it, you know my baby will,
Don't the moon look good shining through the trees,
Oh love don't my girl look fine when she's looking back at me.
