Oh, the sea moves constantly, she never sleeps
And you'll be forever at her mercy
And Oh, how your poor bones ache, stretched thin as a paper plate
So scared those strong winds might blow you away
I'll never go sailing again
The sea is restless, full of mystery
And you'll weep ten thousand salt tears, she'll take them all to the deep
And Oh, how your poor heart aches and you dwell on those old mistakes
And you know you can't make amends
I'll never go sailing again
I'll never go sailing, no never go sailing, I'll never go sailing, no never go sailing
I'll never go sailing again, no never go sailing, again
Oh, the sea can be so cruel or so kindly
And you'll be forever at her mercy
And oh, how your poor bones ache, stretched thin as a paper plate
So scared those strong winds might blow you away
No, I'll never go sailing again
But, Oh, when a new dawn breaks, and the sun lights a whole new page
And you know your hearts on the mend, oh-oh-oh-no...
Here I go sailing again!
