Oh the ship I'm on
Time is what I ride
Forty winds
The captain and the tide
Well a sailor boy
Stole me from my home
And this sea of joy
Is the only life I've known
I would fly away
I would fly away
But I take the sea
For stranger days than these
Now a salty dog
Is caught up on the reef
And the bottom of the sea
She kisses in relief
She could fly away
She could fly away
But she takes the sea
For stranger days than these
So you trade your life
When [bad word] for you
And you bury the knife
Between the lies and [bad word] You could fly away
You could fly away
But you take the sea
For stranger days than these
And I take the sea
For stranger days than these
