I'll Sail My Ship Alone Lyrics - George Jones

Written by S. Nathan, H. Thurston, H. Bernard & M. Burns 

(As performed by Ray Price) 

We've been sweethearts for so long 

Now you say we're thru 

The love we shared is just a memory 

Well I had built a ship of dreams 

And planned them all for you 

Now I guess what is to be will be 

So I'll sail my ship alone 

With all the dreams I own 

Drifting out across the ocean blue 

I'll sail my ship alone 

Tho' all the sails are torn 

And when it starts to sink then I'll blame you

I gave a message to the wind 

To take back home to you 

Hoping you would hear my S-O-S 

Hoping that you would come back home 

My darling if you knew 

Just how much my heart was in distress 

(Repeat chorus) 

When it starts to sink then I'll blame you

We've been sweethearts for so long 

But now you say we're thru 

The love we shared is now a memory 

I have built a ship of dreams 

And planned them all for you 

But 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 

Yes, I'll sail my ship alone 

Tho' all the sails you've torn 

And when it starts to sinkin' 

I'll blame you 

Now, I gave a message to the wind 

To take back home to you 

Hoping you would hear my S-O-S 

I thought that you would come back home 

My darlin', if you knew 

How much my achin' heart was in distress 

Well, 

REPEAT CHORUS
