Sailor's Stripes

I swear that I've seen
All seven seas in a day
Seas of misery
Loneliness, sorrow, and pain

I've ventured to the shore
A few times before when I was young
And this I am sure
I've lost my homeward heart, but not my rambling tongue

I've drifted through them all
Grown tired of the call in the wind
Placed my hands to my ears
Prayed to God my fears would not let in

Closer now than ever before
Further from fair winds and following seas
Lost inside the hurricane
My broken heart has led me to the deep
