George Jones - I'll Sail My Ship Alone Lyrics
Written by S. Nathan, H. Thurston, H. Bernard & M. Burns (As performed by Ray Price) We've been sweethearts for so long Now you say we're thru The love we shared is just a memory Well I had built a ship of dreams And planned them all for you Now I guess what is to be will be So I'll sail my ship alone With all the dreams I own Drifting out across the ocean blue I'll sail my ship alone Tho' all the sails are torn And when it starts to sink then I'll blame you I gave a message to the wind To take back home to you Hoping you would hear my S-O-S Hoping that you would come back home My darling if you knew Just how much my heart was in distress (Repeat chorus) When it starts to sink then I'll blame you (As released by Patsy Cline, October 28, 1963) 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
