My sailor's chantey. About this voyage...sailing on alone. For my fellow travelers along the way.

We used to be in the same boat together, The same boat you and I
You told me you'd love me forever, But you left me alone to die
You sailed off alone, Abandoned ship, Cast me afloat, Set me adrift
So far from shore, So far from home, I'm sinkin' down all alone
We used to be in the same boat together, The same boat you and me
We used to sail thru stormy weather, But you left me lost at sea
Salt water, Salt water
Like the tears in my eyes
Salt water, Salt water
Just like the tears I cry
The tears I cry

(SOLO)

On an ocean of sadness, A sea of despair
'Cross a lake of sorrow, Down a river of tears
A river of tears
We used to be in the same boat together, But you left me lost at sea
We used to sail thru stormy weather, Why don't someone come rescue me?
Salt water, Salt water
It can't quench my thirst
Salt water, Salt water
Women and children first
Women and children first
We used to be in the same boat together, The same boat you and I
You told me you'd love me forever, But you left me alone to die.
