lyrics

Wish I was a sailor boy
And I would know the winds
With just a hint of nature’s wisdom
Tacking to and fro -
Serpentine coasts and splendorous seas
And rocks and shores and wharfs and docks
There’s a lonely light house calling out to me
Carefully commanding the vessel
Through the gales and waves and crests and treasure chests made out of space and air
I would travel everywhere

Ends of earth and ends of men
Their beginnings and their mornings
Stars and dreams and ports and starboards
Stearns and screams and sails - its farther
Ships bones creaking, vessels churnin’, ancient veins, daylight burnin’
The sea is a slate of obsidian, its meridians, they store my joy
I’m a sailor boy
