[Chorus]
Sail on
Tell the girl behind the counter
That I loved her once but soon I must be gone
Sail on
Tell the world I'm gonna miss them
But I've got to find a place where I belong

[Verse 1]
When you make up your mind
I'll tell you all my secrets as we slip between the city streets tonight
When you say your goodbyes
Don't let them see the tears that sparkle in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
While you're sick and tired of feeling sorry for yourself
Life will chew you up and spit you out and put you on the shelf
And you will wake up every morning expecting to be free
You've gotta float on

[Chorus]
Sail on
Tell the girl behind the counter
That I loved her once but soon I must be gone
Sail on
Tell the world I'm gonna miss them
But I've got to find a place where I belong
[Verse 2]
And time is on loan
All the hopes and dreams you had were left behind and taken by the storm
It won't be long
And all the pain that's in your life will soon be gone

[Pre-Chorus]
While you're sick and tired of feeling sorry for yourself
Life will chew you up and spit you out and put you on the shelf
And you awoke a million times, you were expecting to be free
You gotta float on
Out of here
You and I

[Chorus]
We'll sail on
Tell the girl behind the counter
That I loved her once but soon I must be gone
Sail on
Tell the world I'm gonna miss them
But I've got to find a place where I belong
Sail on
Tell the girl behind the counter
That I loved her once but soon I must be gone
Sail on
Tell the world I'm gonna miss them
But I've got to find a place where I belong
Sail on
Tell the girl behind the counter
That I loved her once but soon I must be gone
Sail on
Tell the world I'm gonna miss them
But I've got to find a place where I belong
Sail on
