I'll Sail My Ship Alone

Hank Williams Sr. · Other Songs - Hank Williams Sr.

we've been sweethearts for so long

but now you say we're through,

the love we shared is now 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'll sail my ship alone

with all the dreams i own,

drifting out across the ocean blue.

i'll sail my ship alone,

though all the sails you've torn,

and when it starts to sink

then i'll blame you.



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.



i'll sail my ship alone

with all the dreams i own,

drifting out across the ocean blue.

i'll sail my ship alone,

though all the sails you've torn,

and when it starts to sink

then i'll blame you.



gave a message to the wind

to take back home to you,

hoping you would hear my s.o.s.

maybe you would come back home,

my darling,

if you knew how much my aching heart

is in distress.



i'll sail my ship alone

with all the dreams i own,

drifting out across the ocean blue.

i'll sail my ship alone,

though all the sails you've torn,

and when it starts to sink

then i'll blame you.
