Put A Sail On It

Well I went for a walk down by the water just to bury my troubles in the sand
Then I wandered up into this seaside bar, And sat down next to this old man
Well I guess he could tell that I wasn't doing well and he said “ what's troubling you?”
I said it might be the rain and I shouldn't complain, but my lucky day is overdue

I know where you've been son, trust me I've been in your shoes
Lean in and listen up boy here's what you gotta do
Put a sail on it, let your trouble float away
With the break of dawn it'll bring another day
So don't you dwell upon it it'll fade like the setting of the sun
Put a sail on it (just) let it catch the wind
And when it's gone it won't come back again
It works everytime, trust me son it never fails
Put a sail on it

He told me of his years, triumphs and tears, and living through a war or two
How you don't always win, get up and try it again, it's the doing that you've got to do
So we talked about life, lovers and wives and dreams that almost came true
How this world spins round you're either up or your down, but mostly it's up to you ...He said
