If The Ocean Gets Rough - Willy Mason

Oh, babe i have a heavy heart

We’re taking steps back every time we start

I’m on a rolling train downtown

Just trying to get back to my hometown

I took you in to my broken home

Then i got scared to leave you there alone

Here there are shadows that may lead you astray

I never realized they’re all in my face

Sail on my love

If the ocean gets rough

Will you help me sing

Will you help me sing

When you first taught me how to stand up tall

So scared of heights i thought that i’d surely fall

I’m used to digging in the dirt

Down where there’s no one for me to hurt

The windows whistle when the west wind blows

My head is pounding from these burning coals

I tripped and stumbled don’t you know

And in all that dust our hands let go

Sail on my love…
