Oh the ship I'm on |
|
Time is what I ride |
|
Forty winds |
|
The captain and the tide |
|
Well a sailor boy |
|
Stole me from my home |
|
And this sea of joy |
|
Is the only life I've known |
|
I would fly away |
|
I would fly away |
|
But I take the sea |
|
For stranger days than these |
|
Now a salty dog |
|
Is caught up on the reef |
|
And the bottom of the sea |
|
She kisses in relief |
|
She could fly away |
|
She could fly away |
|
But she takes the sea |
|
For stranger days than these |
|
So you trade your life |
|
When something comes for you |
|
And you bury the knife |
|
Between the lies and truth |
|
You could fly away |
|
You could fly away |
|
But you take the sea |
|
For stranger days than these |
|
And I take the sea |
|
For stranger days than these |
