Written by S. Nathan, H. Thurston, H. Bernard & M. Burns
(As performed by Ray Price)
We`ve been sweethearts for so long
Now you say we`re thru
The love we shared is just a memory
Well I had built a ship of dreams
And planned them all for you
Now I guess what is to be will be
So I`ll sail my ship alone
With all the dreams I own
Drifting out across the ocean blue
I`ll sail my ship alone
Tho` all the sails are torn
And when it starts to sink then I`ll blame you
I gave a message to the wind
To take back home to you
Hoping you would hear my S-O-S
Hoping that you would come back home
My darling if you knew
Just how much my heart was in distress
(Repeat chorus)
When it starts to sink then I`ll blame you
(As released by Patsy Cline, October 28, 1963)
We`ve been sweethearts for so long
But now you say we`re thru
The love we shared is now a memory
I have built a ship of dreams
And planned them all for you
But now I guess what is to be, will be
CHORUS:
I`ll sail my ship alone
With all the dreams I own
Drifting out across the ocean blue
Yes, I`ll sail my ship alone
Tho` all the sails you`ve torn
And when it starts to sinkin`
I`ll blame you
Now, I gave a message to the wind
To take back home to you
Hoping you would hear my S-O-S
I thought that you would come back home
My darlin`, if you knew
How much my achin` heart was in distress
Well,
REPEAT CHORUS
