When My Turn Comes


One thing I learned long ago,
a good long moan’s a laugh before it’s gone,
and so I sail on when others stop to die,
when others stop to die I sail on and on
and on, when others stop to cry I laugh
and moan, when others stop I sail on
and on and on, because a good long
moan’s a laugh before it’s gone, a laugh
before it’s gone, and when my turn comes
I’ll just sail on and on and on. . . .
