Alex O'Brien - Know Your Song Well (feat. Joe Elbee)

I Only Sing to the Sea (feat. Joe Elbee)

Ho, sail away

Fate brought me to the islands
And the ocean set me free
Out on the stormy water
I found who I must be
I fish early each morning
And the ocean sings to me
But if you want to hear my story
I only sing to the sea

So come with me my bonnie lass
If you don't mind the breeze and splash
The salty air will leave us to gasp
Lose our cares, fall to our knees
We will pray for calm and sunshine
We will dance along the key
And I'll share with you all the tunes
I only sing to the sea

A yacht sailed by and listened
Full of ego, agents, stars
When they heard my bothy ballad
They promised I'd go far
They said, no more, no more fishing
Makes your fingers bleed
Better my fingers than my soul
I only sing to the sea

So sail away you dobbers
With your lies that make hearts freeze
A gouling's on the horizon
A distraction I don't need
I'll pray for calm and sunshine
And to again smell the pine trees
Where my bonnie waits for me
While I only sing to the sea

I only sing to the sea
I only sing to the sea
I only sing to the sea

The king wants my devotion
And a private audience
The minister wants a confession
And my soul to be cleansed
But I'd rather fish each morning
Blistered, cold, tired, and free
Shove your request right up your ass
I only sing to the sea

So come with me my bonnie lass
If you don't mind the breeze and splash
The salty air will leave us to gasp
Lose our cares, fall to our knees
We will pray for calm and sunshine
We will dance along the key
And I'll share with you all the tunes
I only sing to the sea

So come with me my bonnie lass
If you don't mind the breeze and splash
The salty air will leave us to gasp
Lose our cares, fall to our knees
We will pray for calm and sunshine
We will dance along the key
And I'll share with you all the tunes
I only sing to the sea

I only sing to the sea
