Sailor's Lament

[Verse] Oh the wind is callin' Salt upon our face Mornin' sun is risin' We're leavin' no trace Sails are all a-flutter High above the mast Boys We're bound for nowhere Life is churning fast [Chorus] Heave ho Lads Hear the ocean's roar Heave ho Lads We’ll touch the distant shore With the tide and tempest Through the stormy night Heave ho Lads Till the mornin' light [Verse 2] In the port of Bristol Memories so keen Left behind our sweethearts Lost to Neptune’s dream Barrels full of promise Riches from afar Yet it's just the journey Keeps us wishin' on a star [Chorus] Heave ho Lads Hear the ocean's roar Heave ho Lads We’ll touch the distant shore With the tide and tempest Through the stormy night Heave ho Lads Till the mornin' light [Verse 3] On the waves of sorrow Ship's a rockin' crest Ghosts of mariners past They never let us rest Shadow of the crow's nest A sentinel so high Guidin' us o’er waters 'neath the silver sky [Bridge] Oh The sky is darkenin' Tempest starts to moan Every man’s a-dreamin' of the love they left at home 'Twixt the stars and ocean Hear the sirens’ cry We sail on through danger To the place we cannot spy
