Ship Without a Sail Songtext
von Loudon Wainwright III

I don′t know what day it is
Or if it's dark or fair
Somehow that′s just the way it is
And I don't really care

I go to this or that place
I seem alive and well
My head is just a hat place
My breast an empty shell
And I've a faded dream to sell


All alone, all at sea
Why does nobody care for me
When there′s no love to hold my love
Why is my heart so frail
Like a ship without a sail

Out on the ocean, sailors can use a chart
I′m on the ocean, guided by just a lonely heart

Still alone, still at sea
Still has no one to care for me
When there's no love to hold my hand
Life is a loveless tale
For a ship without a sail

Out on the ocean, sailors can use a chart
I′m on the ocean, guided by just a lonely heart


Still alone, still at sea
Still has no one to care for me
When there's no hand to hold my hand
Life is a loveless tale
For a ship without a sail
