You were the ground beneath my feet
Stretching as far as I could see
But then you were called to sail
And I felt all hope fail
The tide is turning and I'm left yearning
Watching you sail away on towards a better day
And now I, yes, I
Sail on, sail on, on a wind of pain
Sail on, sail on, with no shelter from the rain
Sail on, sail on, with no light to follow
Sail on, sail on, on a sea of sorrow
Barren waters all around me
Stretching as far as I can see
Sailing on without a breath
Looking for the black sails of death
The tide is turning and I'm left yearning
Watching you sail away on towards a better day
Still I, yes, I
Sail on, sail on, on a wind of pain
Sail on, sail on, with no shelter from the rain
Sail on, sail on, with no light to follow
Sail on, sail on, on a sea of sorrow
Sail on, sail on, on a wind of pain
Sail on, sail on, with no shelter from the rain
Sail on, sail on, with no light to follow
Sail on, sail on, on a sea of sorrow
On a sea of sorrow
Sail on, sail on, on a wind of pain
Sail on, sail on, with no shelter from the rain
Sail on, sail on, with no light to follow
Sail on, sail on, on a sea of sorrow
