Texas Girl At The Funeral Of Her Father, lyric by Randy Newman

from the songs album Little Criminals

Here i am lost in the wind
'round in circles sailing
Like a ship that never comes in
Standing by myself

Sing a sad song for a good man
Sing a sad song for me
Sing a sad song for the sailor
A thousand miles from the sea

Here i am along on the plain
Sun's going down
It's starting to rain
Papa, we'll go sailing
