I've seen the rain pouring down The sky was grey with a speck of blue Peek through a hole in the clouds The sun was screaming, "hey you"
As you ramble through your sorrow Seems like everything come out wrong I'm living in yesterday's tomorrows I know something's helping me along
Chorus I'll take a melody and see What I can do about it I'll take a simple C to G And feel brand new about it
I understand why the old fisherman Sail alone, sail alone, sail alone (Sail alone, sail alone) Someday he'll be gone
I hear you talking 'bout your troubles Everybody's got their troubles too You can make them burst like bubbles If you know just what to do
You know I've been called a dreamer Dreams that never will come true But I've been called so many things before Tell you what I'm gonna do
[chorus]
I understand why the old fisherman Sail alone, sail alone, sail alone (Sail alone, sail alone) Someday he'll be gone
[chorus]
Shine on, keep on shining Shine on, keep on shining Shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining Shine on, keep on shining Shine on, keep on shining
