People walk the floors of ocean...

Subject: Missing title, author, and lyrics

The usual start for such a request goes like this: "I have an old tape and for one of the tracks I have no information on..."
My request is quite similar: I am looking in the first place for the title of a song, perhaps for its author (the song doesn't sound too old), and if possible for the lyrics.
But the start of the request is unusual: I have a vinyl from the late sixties (Sweeney's Men, titled: The tracks of Sweeney, an Irish Folk group with members who later became famous with other groups like Planxty and Bothy Band) and this record has one track which is not mentioned on the record itself or on the record cover. I never yet have found out anything about this song. It starts like this:
"People walk the floors of ocean
gulping air to laugh or cry..."
Anyone knows more?
