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......
