Oh, baby, I have a heavy heart We're taking steps back every timewe start I'm on a rolling train downtownJust trying to get back to my hometown Took you into my broken homeAnd I got scared to leave you there alone Here there are shadows that may lead you astrayI never realized they were all in my face Sail on, my love, if the ocean gets roughWould you help me sing, would it help to sing? Sail on, my love, when the ocean gets roughWould you help me sing, would it help to sing? When you first taught me how to stand up tallSo scared of heights I thought that I'd surely fall I'm used to digging in the dirtDown where there's no one for me to hurt The windows whistle when the west wind blowsMy head is pounding from these burning coals I tripped and stumbled, don't you know?And all that dust our hands let go Sail on, my love, if the ocean gets roughWould you help me sing, would it help to sing? Sail on, my love, if the ocean gets roughWould you help me sing, would it help to sing? Would you help me sing?
