Sea Shanties

Lyric:
[Verse]
The waves they rise the waves they fall
I hear the gulls their mournful call
The salt it stings my weary skin
This endless blue where does it begin

[Chorus]
Oh sailor cry oh sailor cry
Under the stars under the sky
A heart adrift no harbor near
Oh sailor cry drown out the fear

[Verse 2]
The fiddle hums a ghostly tune
The whistle weeps beneath the moon
The bodhran beats like a heart alone
A rhythm carved in cold grey stone

[Chorus]
Oh sailor cry oh sailor cry
Under the stars under the sky
A heart adrift no harbor near
Oh sailor cry drown out the fear

[Bridge]
The sea she whispers truths untold
Her arms are deep her grip is cold
Yet still I sail where the winds may go
Chasing dreams I’ll never know

[Chorus]
Oh sailor cry oh sailor cry
Under the stars under the sky
A heart adrift no harbor near
Oh sailor cry drown out the fear

Lyric:
[Verse]
The tide it rolls
It pulls
It heaves
The sailor leaves
The sailor grieves
A kiss on the cheek
A promise sworn
But promises fade when sails are torn

[Chorus]
Oh the sailor sails
The sailor roams
Far from the shore
Far from his home
The wind it wails
The sea she moans
The sailor sails
But never comes home

[Verse 2]
The gulls they cry
The waves they break
The heart it aches
It starts to quake
No lantern burns
No shadow waits
The sailor's fate
The ocean takes

[Chorus]
Oh the sailor sails
The sailor roams
Far from the shore
Far from his home
The wind it wails
The sea she moans
The sailor sails
But never comes home

[Bridge]
Did he find gold
Did he find stone
Did he find stars or die alone
The water knows
The deep keeps still
The sailor’s name
The wind shall spill

[Chorus]
Oh the sailor sails
The sailor roams
Far from the shore
Far from his home
The wind it wails
The sea she moans
The sailor sails
But never comes home
