A Ship Without a Sail Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald

I don′t know what day it is
Or if it's dark or fair
Somehow, that′s just the way it is
And I don't really care

I go to this or that place
I seem alive and well
My head is just a hat place
My breast an empty shell
And I've a faded dream to sell

All alone, all at sea
Why does nobody care for me?
When there′s no love to hold my love
Why is my heart so frail?
Like a ship without a sail.


Out on the ocean,
Sailors can use a chart
I′m on the ocean
Guided by just a lonely heart

Still alone, still at sea
Still there's no one to care for me
When there′s no hand to hold my hand
Life is a loveless tale
For a ship without a sail

(Bridge)

Still alone, still at sea
Still there's no one to care for me
When there′s no hand to hold my hand
Life is a loveless tale
For a ship without a sail
