| 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
|
| On a sea of sorrow
|
| (Repeat chorus while fading) |
