"Sail Sail On" lyrics

"Sail Sail On"

Baby, I thought you had licked this modern day disease
Shifting in your chair like you got to be somewhere
I don't think I've ever seen you totally at ease
Addicted to the grind... when will you unwind?

(And) Sail, sail on
We'll be a long time gone

Each moment of our life's a petal on a rose
It will not be told when it must unfold

And maybe when you're talking to me look me in the eye
Not around the room like you got something else to do
All we have is now and now is gonna pass on by
It's not coming back so why don't you relax?

(And) Sail, sail on
We'll be a long time gone
Sail, sail on
We'll be a long time gone

Each moment of our life's a petal on a rose
And it will not be told when it must unfold

Sail, sail on
We'll be a long time gone
Sail, sail on
We'll be a long time gone
Sail on, sail on
