  • I sailed a wild, wild sea
    Climbed up a tall, tall mountain
    I met a old, old man
    Beneath a weeping willow tree
    He said now if you got some questions
    Go and lay them at my feet
    But my time here is brief
    So you'll have to pick just three

    [Chorus]
    And I said
    What do you do with the pieces of a broken heart
    And how can a man like me remain in the light
    And if life is really as short as they say
    Then why is the night so long
    And then the sun went down
    And he sang for me this song

    See I once was a young fool like you
    Afraid to do the things
    That I knew I had to do
    So I played an escapade just like you
    I played an escapade just like you
    I sailed a wild, wild sea
    Climbed up a tall, tall mountain
    I met an old, old man
    He sat beneath a sapling tree
    He said now if you got some questions
    Go and lay them at my feet
    But my time here is brief
    So you'll have to pick just three

    [Chorus] Writer/s: MATTHEW STEPHEN WARD
