Sometimes I wish that I could sail away
Sometimes I wish that I could sail away
Into the morning sun
Into the morning sun
Sometimes I wish that I could sail away

Death don't have no mercy on no one
Death don't have no mercy on no one
From the time this song is sung
Another friend is gone
Death don't have no mercy on no one

Sometimes I wish my heart was made of stone
Sometimes I wish my heart was made of stone
But the tears keep running down
They roll out on the ground
Sometimes I wish my heart was made of stone

Oh death I know you gotta come by here
Oh death I know you gotta come by here
But spare the ones I love
Spare the ones I love
Oh death I know you gotta come by here

Sometimes I wish that I could catch the wind
Sometimes I wish that I could catch the wind
I'd hold it in my arms
I'd hold it in my arms
Think of you and then I let it go
