You Sailor

no longer will i beneath you shelter

all that you have given to me

it was never on my behalf

all this, all and more i cede to you

swear away in fealty

as i sail for warmer climes

i am a king, you can't deny me my kingdom

what's this camaraderie of country

that turns before me salty

rust on fragile parts

all this, all you have inspired

the crew and ship of empire

rig and mast and spars

box of stripes and stars

i am a king, you can't deny me my kingdom

you, sailor, on the lonely sea

will you turn and promise me

you'll always be alive

oh i might stutter, i might falter

sail uncharted waters

drowning, lost, then found

drowning, lost, then found

i am a king, you can't deny me my kingdom

you, sailor, on the lonely sea

will you turn and promise me

you'll always be alive
