you, sailor

you, sailor 歌詞
no longer will i beneath you shelter
all that you have given to me
it was never on my behalf
all this, all and more i cede to you
swear away in fealty
as i sail for warmer climes
i am a king! you can't deny me my kingdom!
what's this camaraderie of country
that turns before me salty
rust on fragile parts
all this , all you have inspired
the crew and ship of empire
rig and mast and spars
box of stripes and stars
i am a king! you can't deny me my kingdom!
you, sailor, on the lonely sea
will you turn and promise me
you'll always be alive
oh i might stutter, i might falter
sail uncharted waters
drowning, lost, then found
drowning, lost, then found
i am a king! you can't deny me my kingdom!
you, sailor, on the lonely sea
will you turn and promise me
you'll always be alive
