Lyrics Sail On Sweet Soul - Hoist the Colors

Sail On Sweet Soul

Down beside these rocks where waves crash like giants
Sits a man with his thoughts and a smile
Just a song in his heart and a ghost in his mind
A lifetime of memories on trial
Well the blue of his eyes matches that of the sea
Where he knew he always belonged
And he faces the wind that is whipping like sin
Like a king he takes his crown
And he says let these squalls please carry me away
Let my life be that of a hurricane
Oh I’m stepping out of line
Just to leave it all behind
So say a prayer for me as I drift out to sea
I’m leaving here tonight
Well if I should find your good graces in time
If I could right what I’ve done wrong
I’d change all your days in so many ways
To feel like an old familiar song
But the past is the past and the tides they all change
We all must float along
So I’ll face the wind that is whipping like sin
Sail on sweet soul sail on
And he says let these squalls please carry me away
Let my life be that of a hurricane
Oh I’m stepping out of line
Just to leave it all behind
So say a prayer for me as I drift out to sea
I’m leaving here tonight
