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 oh
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 sail across don't 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 teached 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 lets 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
