When the morning sun came up
I crawled into her bed
The tears in her eyes were fallin'
I could feel no sorrow for the cruel things I had said
In my drunken state I did not care at all
She said sailor sailor tell me will you ever change your ways
Oh do not take me through this stormy weather
I can feel your sorrow you have seen your better days
Ah but I could not have loved you any better
No I could not have loved you any better
Amber shades of red slashed through the night
And light the bed where I suppose I will lie alone a while until her cryin's done
I cannot explain why I cannot feel her pain
I've grown unfeeling I suppose
I've grown unfeeling I suppose
Oh sailor sailor tell me will you ever change your ways
Please do not take me through this stormy weather
I can see your sorrow you have known your better days
But I could not have loved you any better
You know I could not have loved you any better
