I'm gonna sail on my boat and keep it afloat forever Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together I got a waiting ticket, won't you sail it? Nobody who's staying asleep knows what I'm saying I'm gonna throw out a rope and keep it afloat, it's granted And call her Cressy Freedom, Independence or Tansy I'm gonna wake and take us all to where Nobody's gonna talk me down by stormy weather Got to sail my boat Got to keep afloat I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing I'll stay the course, I'll make it a choice, I'll plan it Nobody ever thought you would and they take you for granted I'll tie the ropes that keep me afloat and sailing Nobody ever taught me, teach me what I'm playing I'm gonna lift up my voice and sing you a song romantic And call it Cressy Freedom, Independence or Tansy Got to sail my boat Got to keep afloat I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing Hold on in love take it to where you never Nobody's gonna tell me how it won't stay together I've got a freedom ticket let's go sailing Nobody who's staying asleep knows what I'm saying Got to sail my boat Got to keep afloat I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing Got to sail my boat Got to keep afloat I get the need to keep on when I'm sailing
