To see me now you would never think to wonder, How near we were to sinkin' under, For so long, But now I'm gone, So long.
The truth be told, I think my soul was stuck in amber, Like a chip for weary gamblers, For so long.
But now I'm gone, So long.
[Chorus: See me, I'm a sailor now, Sail on, sail on, Dark skies seem paler now, I'm gone, so long]
The steady hand that every beggar holds his bowl in, Was what we took for steady rollin'For so long, But now I'm gone, So long.
[Chorus]
