A Sailor's Song
Once again I depart on good terms
Better lies when the truth so badly burns
Better showers than torrents of rain
To keep the peace until I'm home again
I'll spend many long months at sea
You wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy
A man has yearnings to answer the call
That nature hides deep in us all
It's not that I don't love you my dear
I kiss your face each night at sea
And here on a stand by my bunk
Are pictures of you and Marie
As I depart the port of my sins
I hold the guilt of my pleasures within
Like swollen banks bursting from rain
Until the tide brings me back to you again
It's not that I don't love you my dear
I kiss your face each night at sea
For here on a stand by my bunk
Are pictures of you and Marie
Are pictures of you and Marie
Better lies when the truth so badly burns
Better showers than torrents of rain
To keep the peace until I'm home again
I'll spend many long months at sea
You wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy
A man has yearnings to answer the call
That nature hides deep in us all
It's not that I don't love you my dear
I kiss your face each night at sea
And here on a stand by my bunk
Are pictures of you and Marie
As I depart the port of my sins
I hold the guilt of my pleasures within
Like swollen banks bursting from rain
Until the tide brings me back to you again
It's not that I don't love you my dear
I kiss your face each night at sea
For here on a stand by my bunk
Are pictures of you and Marie
Are pictures of you and Marie
