I’LL SAIL MY SHIP ALONE As recorded by Jerry Lee Lewis (1958 single release) [Intro] [Verse 1] We’ve been sweethearts for so long But now you say we’re through The love we shared Is just a memory I have built a ship of dreams And planned them all for you And now I guess What is to be will be. [Chorus] I’ll sail my ship alone With all the dreams I own Drifting out across the ocean blue. I’ll sail my ship alone With all the dreams I own And when it starts to sink Then I’ll blame you. [Piano Solo] [Verse 2] Well I 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. [Out-Chorus] Well I’ll sail my ship alone With all the dreams I own Drifting out across the ocean blue. I’ll sail my ship alone With all the dreams I own And when it starts to sink Then I’ll blame you.
