"Sail On" lyrics

"Sail On"

Since then I've sailed through many lands
I never stayed too long
Pushed by restless hands
Lord, what do I care
A broken man with a load so heavy to bear

There could have been a time I know
I could have caught the Jesus show
I was lying helpless, lying drunk in the snow

Sail on
And I never found love, guess I never will

I've killed so many lonely souls
I knew what I could have been
It's not what I should have been

Why do a care
A broken man too weak to banish his fears

I always took what I could find
I never thought to look behind
And when I did, it really froze my mind

Sail on
I never heard love, I was always blind
