You, Sailor

no longer will i beneath you shelter
 all that you have given to me
 it was never on my behalf
 all this, all and more i cede to you
 swear away in fealty
 as i sail for warmer climes
 i am a king! you can't deny me my kingdom!
 what's this camaraderie of country
 that turns before me salty
 rust on fragile parts
 all this, all you have inspired
 the crew and ship of empire
 rig and mast and spars
 box of stripes and stars
 i am a king! you can't deny me my kingdom!
 you, sailor, on the lonely sea
 will you turn and promise me
 you'll always be alive
 oh i might stutter, i might falter
 sail uncharted waters
 drowning, lost, then found
 drowning, lost, then found
 i am a king! you can't deny me my kingdom!
 you, sailor, on the lonely sea
 will you turn and promise me
 you'll always be alive
