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]
