Sailor Song

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
