'Twas the worst of times for tinkers like you and me.

So in search of fortune I took to the sea.

Round my neck, a key you said was to your heart.

Held it desperately as your ship left the dock.

I can't forget, I won't forgive this sea

For the endless hurt it gave to me.

I want to stab, I want to kill this sea.

Took you away, took you away from me.

Silks from Singapore, a treasure from Tripoli for you.

And from Suvla Bay, I've scars for souvenirs.

Love, your son was born. I wish you could see.

Eyes the same as yours and cries just like me.

I can't forget, I won't forgive this sea

For the endless hurt it gave to me.

I want to stab, I want to kill this sea.

Took you away, took you away from me.

Years have passed - How many, I don't know anymore.

Lost adrift at sea, a storm comes. It's getting cold.

I stand under moors searching a sea of blue

And forever more, I'll wait here for you.
