Whence We Came
My daddy was a writer
He told me 'bout the world
'Bout kings and queens, things he'd never seen
That were perfect for a little girl
But now I am a sailor
And it's all I will ever be
Seen the setting sun, been to hell and beyond
The devil and the deep blue sea
Oh the world keeps crumbling around
Oh but I can't stand to plant my tired sea-legs on the ground
The sea's a lonely place it's true
What good's a captain without a crew
The sea's a lonely place I know
But I can't, I can't, I can't
Live upon the shore
High upon the sea
I want to be, I want to be
High upon the waves
Is where I will spend the rest of my days
High upon the sea
I want to be, I want to be
High upon the waves
Is where I will spend the rest of my days
The sea's a lonely place it's true
The sea's a lonely place it's true
So point me home lighthouse beacon
I've been following the stars but they won't lead the way
Point me home lighthouse beacon
In the darkest night, I can't find my way
But when the morning comes, I'll be on my way
My daddy was a writer
He told me 'bout the world
'Bout kings and queens, things he'd never seen
That were perfect for a little girl
But now I am a sailor
And it's all I will ever be
If I have my way, at the end of days
I'll take the locker over Fiddler's Green
High upon the sea
I want to be, I want to be
High upon the waves
Is where I will spend the rest of my days
High upon the sea
I want to be, I want to be
High upon the waves
Is where I will spend the rest of my days
He told me 'bout the world
'Bout kings and queens, things he'd never seen
That were perfect for a little girl
But now I am a sailor
And it's all I will ever be
Seen the setting sun, been to hell and beyond
The devil and the deep blue sea
Oh the world keeps crumbling around
Oh but I can't stand to plant my tired sea-legs on the ground
The sea's a lonely place it's true
What good's a captain without a crew
The sea's a lonely place I know
But I can't, I can't, I can't
Live upon the shore
High upon the sea
I want to be, I want to be
High upon the waves
Is where I will spend the rest of my days
High upon the sea
I want to be, I want to be
High upon the waves
Is where I will spend the rest of my days
The sea's a lonely place it's true
The sea's a lonely place it's true
So point me home lighthouse beacon
I've been following the stars but they won't lead the way
Point me home lighthouse beacon
In the darkest night, I can't find my way
But when the morning comes, I'll be on my way
My daddy was a writer
He told me 'bout the world
'Bout kings and queens, things he'd never seen
That were perfect for a little girl
But now I am a sailor
And it's all I will ever be
If I have my way, at the end of days
I'll take the locker over Fiddler's Green
High upon the sea
I want to be, I want to be
High upon the waves
Is where I will spend the rest of my days
High upon the sea
I want to be, I want to be
High upon the waves
Is where I will spend the rest of my days
