Lyrics
There was wind and a calm blue sea,
A broken bottle, we’re finally free…
Adrift and all hands accounted for,
But you don’t have your hands anymore in my dreams…
Pray for men at sea:
“God, leave them be!”
Who knows where they’ll go?
“Lord, bring them home!”
So raise your flags high,
Setting sail for a lifetime of doing what we want to do…
Night watch over,
Are you ever sober?
Knocked off course with a storm coming through…
We’ll wait once more,
We’ll have to drag this ship ashore…
Calm seas, midnight breeze,
And we’re still waiting for you to board…
This ship will sink to the ocean floor,
Remember what we’re here for or this ship is going down…
Sea crest secrets,
God, I’ll never keep it…
Loose lips sink ships,
God, I’ll never keep it…
Spilling my guts like the waves crash to the shore…
Drop the anger with the anchor,
Upset about my net yielding more…
“Lord, bring them home!”
We’ll wait once more,
We’ll have to drag this ship ashore…
Calm seas, midnight breeze,
And we’re still waiting for you to board…
This ship will sink to the ocean floor,
Remember what we’re here for or this ship is going down…
If you insist on showing me your wounded hands,
I’m forced to become an honest man and turn this ship around…
This ship is going down…
I just can’t wait to feel relief only a wave could understand,
When it takes its leave from a Pacific beach and finally meets Atlantic sand…
Oh I just can’t wait to feel relief only a wave would know,
When traveling the deep blue sea free from the undertow…
We’ve held our breath for far too long,
These sails are broken; these winds are too strong…
So long old friend, please forgive me,
As we throw you out into sea…
And you can just save yourself…
