Here I stand lost in the wind,
Round in circles sailing,
Like a ship that never comes in.

Standing by myself,
Sing a sad song for a good man
Sing a sad song for me
Sing a sad song for a sailor
A thousand miles from sea.

Here I stand alone on the plain
Sun's going down it's starting to rain,
Daddy we'll go sailing.
