Sailor Song

                                  Oh the ship I'm on

Time is what I ride

Forty winds, the captain and the tide

Oh a sailor boy

Stole me from my home

And this sea of joy

Is the only life I've known



I could fly away

I could fly away

But I take the sea

For stranger days than these



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



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

Stranger days...
