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, 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 with 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
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, 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 with 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
