We've been sweethearts for so long But now you say we're thru The love we shared is now a memory I have built a ship of dreams And planned them all for you But now I guess what is to be, will be CHORUS: I'll sail my ship alone With all the dreams I own Drifting out across the ocean blue Yes, I'll sail my ship alone Tho' all the sails you've torn And when it starts to sinkin' I'll blame you Now, I gave a message to the wind To take back home to you Hoping you would hear my S-O-S I thought that you would come back home My darlin', if you knew How much my achin' heart was in distress Well, REPEAT CHORUS
