[Verse 1]
Tell my family
I had to leave; I'm going away
Tell my friends for me
They'd all agree that I gotta get out of here

[Chorus]
Gonna sail that boat right into the sun
'Cause everybody knows that's how it's done
Now don't you cry, then, don't you wait
If I meet my end, well, that'd be my fate

Gonna sail that boat right into the sun
'Cause everybody knows that's how it's done
Now don't you cry, then, don't you wait
If I meet my end, well, that'd be my fate

[Verse 2]
Give my things away
Forget my name; I'm leaving today
If you see me again
It'll be my skeleton, 'cause I won't be back alive

[Bridge]
You are as soft as a feather
You are as gorgeous as ever
You are exactly what I should want
But I don't want you; no, I don't want you
So I'm going away
[Instrumental]

[Interlude]
Yeah
Yeah (Couldn't survive one more day, couldn't survive one more day)
Yeah (Couldn't survive one more day, couldn't survive one more day)
Yeah (Couldn't survive one more day, couldn't survive one more day)

Yeah (Couldn't survive one more day, couldn't survive one more day)
Yeah (Couldn't survive one more day, couldn't survive one more day)
Yeah (Couldn't survive one more day, couldn't survive one more day)
Yeah (Couldn't survive one more day, couldn't survive one more day)

Yeah (Couldn't survive one more day, couldn't survive one more day)
Yeah (Couldn't survive one more day, couldn't survive one more day)
Yeah (Couldn't survive one more day, couldn't survive one more day)
Yeah (Couldn't survive one more day, couldn't survive one more day)

[Chorus]
Gonna sail that boat right into the sun
'Cause everybody knows that's how it's done
Now don't you cry, then, don't you wait
If I meet my end, well, that'd be my fate

Gonna sail that boat right into the sun
'Cause everybody knows that's how it's done
Now don't you cry, then, don't you wait
If I meet my end, well, that'd be my fate
[Chorus]
Gonna sail that boat right into the sun
'Cause everybody knows that's how it's done
Now don't you cry, then, don't you wait
If I meet my end, well, that'd be my fate

Gonna sail that boat right into the sun
'Cause everybody knows that's how it's done
Now don't you cry, then, don't you wait
If I meet my end, well, that'd be my fate
