Sail On - Dick Gaughan

Sailed my whole life on bloodied seas

Sail on through the storm

Laughed in hard times, cried in easy

Taking it all back home

Walked through storms in shadowed valleys

(Sail on etc)

Asking questions that had no answers

(Taking it all etc)

Seen loved ones born, seen loved ones dying

Rocked with laughter, I’ve shook with crying

Been down and out, been high and mighty

Been a peacemaker, been a fighter

Sail on, Sail on

Sail on

Sail on, Sail on

Only a fool breaks their heart

For what has gone

Known real love and the joy of giving

Saw it die but I kept on living

Lived with love and lived without it

Still believe and I’ll never doubt it

Sail on, Sail on

The hour of sorrow is the herald

Of the hope that is the dawn

Sail on, Sail on

Going home to where

I truly do belong

Sail on, Sail on

Don’t waste your time in asking

Where the time you spent has gone

Sail on, Sail on

Only a fool breaks their heart

For what has gone
