"Sail On, My Friend" lyrics

"Sail On, My Friend"

You always knew I understood
You knew I'd say what I said
Had I known it would go the way it would
I would have said this instead

Sail on, sail on, my friend
Sail on into a new horizon
If you can't play that same old song again
I say sail on

Lets just say you broke a string
And raise a toast to your health
You don't have to play or sing for
Anyone else but yourself

Sail on, sail on, my friend
Sail on into a new horizon
If you can't play that same old song again
I say sail on

Break a leg in paradise
Save a place for me
I don't know from good advice
So I'll just see you
When I see you

Sail on, sail on, my friend
Sail on into a new horizon
If you can't play that same old song again
I say sail on
