Sailor Song (Say Goodbye To The Folks)

I once was a ship on the ocean
A wanderer of the sea
The faces and countries that I've seen
I shaped them and o they shaped me

Echoes of hundred years
And one sailor song in my ears

Say goodbye to the folks that we could have been
Raise your glass to the ones that you're missing
The waters of life can be wild when showin' the way
Wave your hand to the ghosts that we haven't seen
They've always been with us and will be
Have trust for the plan although sometimes hard to see
Have trust for the plan although sometimes hard to see

I remember Berry, when he was drunk then he thought he could fly
He jumped off my plank, snapped his wings and I kissed him goodbye
While Jack the parrot who thought to be a man
Made his tricks and laughed and performed a wild dance
To get his eternal seat in the hearts of all these traveller souls

Echoes of hundred years
And one sailor song in my ears

Say goodbye to the folks that we could have been
Raise your glass to the ones that you're missing
The waters of life can be wild when showin' the way
Wave your hand to the ghosts that we haven't seen
They've always been with us and will be
Have trust for the plan although sometimes hard to see
Have trust for the plan although sometimes hard to see

Now I lay on the ground of an ocean
Whose water has long passed away
A desert of dreams but I know that
A sailor will find his way

Say goodbye to the folks that we could have been
Raise your glass to the ones that you're missing
The waters of life can be wild when showin' the way
Wave your hand to the ghosts that we haven't seen
They've always been with us and will be
Have trust for the plan although sometimes hard to see

Say goodbye to the folks that we could have been
With hope in your heart and your story
The waters of life can be wild when showin' the way
Raise your glass to the ghosts that we haven't seen
They've always been with us and will be
Have trust for the plan although sometimes hard to see
Have trust for the plan although sometimes hard to see
