"Beginner's Sailing" 是由Paul Simon 和 Art Garfunkel 共同演唱的一首歌曲。以下是這首歌的歌詞:
Paul:
Sailing, sailing, on a beautiful day
Out on the ocean, with the sun on my face
Art:
I was happy, I was free, it seemed so right
Sailing, sailing, with no care in the world
Paul:
Until that night, we ran upon the waves
I had made a promise to her I'd always stay
Art:
I'm no sailor, I'm a stranger in this port
She knew my story, but she loved my clothes too much
Paul:
Now we're both standing here so alone
It's a bitter ending, but I'm not done
Art:
I'm learning to sail, I'm learning to love again
But I'm still learning, I'm still learning to trust
Paul:
Sailing, sailing, on a beautiful day
Out on the ocean, with the sun on my face
Now there's nothing between us, there's only the sea
Sailing, sailing, it seems to me
Art:
The winds are blowing and I feel my feet upon the ground
And now my lessons are over, it's time to let go
Paul: Sailing, sailing.
