I'll Sail My Ship Alone

(album: Back To Basics - 1987)

We've been sweethearts for so long
Now you say, "We're through!"
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

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
Through all the sails, you've torn
When it starts sinking, 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

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 sinking, I'll blame you

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