Lyrics
I Sailed My Ship (Lyrics by Glen Cooper, 2020)
I've been north and I've been south
Knew they'd be trouble soon as I opened my mouth
As I watched them take their frustrations out
And leaving me in very little doubt
(Chorus)
So I sailed my ship to the end of the Earth
Until I fell off the edge of the sea
Luck has a funny way of balancing itself out
But only bad things happen to me
Like a glass, with light shining through it
Said the professor, "You know. I just knew it.
The angle of the prism, like the phoenix has risen
And perhaps now my sins will be forgiven?"
(Partial Chorus - 1st half):
So I sailed my ship to the end of the Earth
Until I fell off the edge of the sea
Down came the rain I couldn't believe it
Rain-man said, "The garden 'n' flowers, need it."
But I knew I was going to get soaked to the skin
Soaked in the clothes, I was standing in
(Chorus - complete)
("Partial Chorus - Coda ")
Luck has a funny way of balancing itself out
So I sailed my ship to the end of the Earth
