The oldest of the sons,
has to set the bar for the younger ones.
so with one broken heart and two broken feet,
i'd crawl along the floor if you'd be proud of me...
as the waves say oh...oh...oh oh oh...
say goodbye, while you stare at the sky
there's no stone to lay when a true sailors dies
who suffers from a lack of dreams
with no cause or direction to where you'd point me.
say goodbye, there's no room to cry
there's no stone to lay when a true sailors die
who'd rather just go down with the ship
then see the look on your face when he comes back with nothing.
i'm wishing you'd be proud
cause i'll stay out alone, no matter if i drown
and fight poseidon to the bitter end
to make sure he knows our family name
as the waves swallow, oh....oh oh oh....
End -
I'll wait til tomorrow because it's just too sad
and watch the water roll over the deck
