If we who have sailed togetherFlit out of each other's view,The world will sail on, I think,Just as it used to do.

So I have talked with Betsey and Betsey has talked with me, And we have agreed together that we can't never agree

I've watched my duty, straight an' true, an' tried to do it well; Part of the time kept heaven in view, An' part steered clear of hell.

If we who have sailed together
Flit out of each other's view,
The world will sail on, I think,
Just as it used to do.

You are not a fully fledged sailor unless you have sailed under full sail,

I've always wanted to sail around the world in a handmade boat, and I built a boat.
