(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
