Lyrics Mickey Gilley

Mickey Gilley

I'll Sail My Ship Alone

We've been sweethearts for so long

Now you say, "We're thru!"

The love we shared is just a memory

I had built a ship of dreams

And planned them all for you

And now I guess what is to be will be.

I'm just like a ship at sea

That's lost without a sail

The dark clouds hide the sun from up above

And even with these broken dreams

My heart will never fail

For deep inside there's only one true love.

R:

When I sail my ship alone

With all the dreams I own

Drifting out across the ocean blue

And I'll sail my ship alone

Thru' all the sails, you've torn

When it starts sinkin', I'll blame you.

I gave a message to the wind

To take back home to you

Hoping you could hear my SOS

Maybe you would come back home

My Darling if you knew

How much my aching heart is in distress

R:

Well I sail my ship alone

With all the dreams I own

Drifting out across that ocean blue

And I'll sail my ship alone

Tho' all the sails, you've torn

And when it starts to sinkin', I'll blame you.

When it starts to sinkin', I'll blame you...
