Set to Sea

The sea was as dark as the sky above
As we set to our perilous task
The waves towered above our ship
And we knew we might not make it back
The captain said boys be brave be strong
And don't let yourselves be pulled under by
The siren's song

It'll make you forget all your troubles
Lose yourself in the beauteous sound
Until you let go of all your sanity
Jump into the depths and drown

Well we all filled our ears with cotton plugs
To block out the deadly sound
But Jimmy up in the crow's nest
Had no time to make it down
We watched as the music reached his ears
And he dove to the depths below
To follow the sirens song

It'll make you forget all your troubles
Lose yourself in the beauteous sound
Until you let go of all your sanity
Jump into the depths and drown

There were shouts and cries overboard
As we called to our ill-fated friend
But no amount of begging
Could bring him out of the spell he was in
The captain commanded us to row on and leave poor Jimmy behind
Fallen prey to the siren's song

It'll make you forget all your troubles
Lose yourself in the beauteous sound
Until you let go of all your sanity
Jump into the depths and drown
