My Life at Sea
Set sail on a stormy night
Sailing away from the lighthouse lights
This boat becomes a coffin
Adrift in a sea of green
And the first hand screams with a swallows cry
'Mother I'm sorry I don't wanna die,
But no man here has a right to life,
and I'm the cause of so much strife'
I'll keep singing the story of my life at sea
Endless days and sleepless nights with nowhere to be
I'll keep singing the story of my life at sea
Endless days and sleepless nights with nowhere to be
When the storm hits starboard side
I'm thrown down deck with a shrieking cry
The boat starts rocking
And I rope myself just in time
And the first hand, weeping inside, says
'Why did so many have to die?
Thank you Poseidon for sparing my life,
I'll make more of it this time'
I'll keep singing the story of my life at sea
Endless days and sleepless nights with nowhere to be
I'll keep singing the story of my life at sea
Endless days and sleepless nights with nowhere to be
Now the first hand, full of gin,
Sings a sweet melody
A song for the sailors lost
Those swallowed by the sea
I'll keep singing the story of my life at sea
Endless days and sleepless nights with nowhere to be
I'll keep singing the story of my life at sea
Endless days and sleepless nights with nowhere to be
Sailing away from the lighthouse lights
This boat becomes a coffin
Adrift in a sea of green
And the first hand screams with a swallows cry
'Mother I'm sorry I don't wanna die,
But no man here has a right to life,
and I'm the cause of so much strife'
I'll keep singing the story of my life at sea
Endless days and sleepless nights with nowhere to be
I'll keep singing the story of my life at sea
Endless days and sleepless nights with nowhere to be
When the storm hits starboard side
I'm thrown down deck with a shrieking cry
The boat starts rocking
And I rope myself just in time
And the first hand, weeping inside, says
'Why did so many have to die?
Thank you Poseidon for sparing my life,
I'll make more of it this time'
I'll keep singing the story of my life at sea
Endless days and sleepless nights with nowhere to be
I'll keep singing the story of my life at sea
Endless days and sleepless nights with nowhere to be
Now the first hand, full of gin,
Sings a sweet melody
A song for the sailors lost
Those swallowed by the sea
I'll keep singing the story of my life at sea
Endless days and sleepless nights with nowhere to be
I'll keep singing the story of my life at sea
Endless days and sleepless nights with nowhere to be
