Lyrics

Lonely Ship

I was a sailorman never found myself a wife
Worked my fingers to the bone
I lived a solitude life
Married to the ocean, sailed the seven seas of life
Now I’m old and weather beaten
I’m washed up with the tide

Chorus:
The lonely ship is waitin for me
I’m lost at sea
Somebody save me

I’ve had many a lovers in every port & town
Broke many of hearts
I could never settle down
I had a gypsy’s soul, kept a wanderin around
Now I’m just a wise old fool
I miss the oceans sound

Got to wash my soul in the waters, wash my dirty hands clean
Getting ready for the last voyage
I pray my soul will be redeemed
Like a wave on the ocean, I’ll blend back into the sea
Dissolve into the deep
Into this universal dream
