My ship came in, it sailed away again

And I was not onboard, I started prayin' to the Lord

I could see it sail away, it left me on my own

I stood and watched it fade away - I stood there all alone



And just hung my head, I couldn't help but cry

I got back into bed, I had to wonder why

I watched it in the distance, it was fading out of sight

I don't know why it left me here - I know it isn't right



Please can you help me, 'cause now my ship is gone

It seems there ain't nothing left of the road that I've been on

My ship came in, sailed away again

My ship came in, sailed away

Sailed away, sailed away again
