On My Own

Graeham Goble
July 8th, 1977 & October 17th, 1978

I am sailing around the world on my own
But I carry another world in my bones
Show me the light and I will be all right in the morning
Yes, I'm sailing around the world on my own

I am sailing around the world on my own
And I see all the suffering, it makes me cold
Back in the hills I'm as happy as a soul up in heaven
But I'm sailing around the world on my own

Anybody who sees me who knows me
Would never try to show me the way to go
There's a lot that I feel, but I just don't show

We are sailing around the world on our own
It's the distance between us that's makin' us old
Just for the want of love, so many die of neglected heartache
They are sailing around the world on their own

Seen the light
What are we gonna do about the heartless?
Oh so many parasites
Lonely nights
Hard times
We carry on
How long will we be left anticipating?
We keep on waiting for paradise
Good advice
I wonder why

I am sailing around the world on my own
But I carry another world in my bones
Show me the light and I will be all right in the morning
Yes, I'm sailing around the world on my own
