Oh, I bid farewell
To the port and the land
And I paddle away
From brave englad's white sands.
To search for my long ago
Forgotten friends.
To search for the place
I hear all sailers end.
As the souls of the dead
Fill the space of my mind.
I'll search without sleeping
'till peace I can find.
I fear not the weather,
I fear not the sea.
I remember the fallen,
Do they think of me?
When their bones in the ocean
Forever will be.
Plot a course thro' the night
To a place I once knew.
To a place
Where my hope died along with my crew.
So I swallow my grief
And face life's final test.
To find promise of peace and the
Solice of rest.
As the songs of the dead
Fill the space of my ears.
Their laughter like children,
Their beckoning cheers.
My heart longs to join them,
Sing songs of the sea.
I remember the fallen,
Do they think of me?
When their bones in the ocean
Forever will be.
When at last
Before my ghostly shipmates I stand.
I shed a small tear
For my home upon land
Though their eyes speak of depths
Filled with struggle and strife.
Their smiles below say
I don't owe them my life.
As the souls of the dead
Fill the space of my eyes
And my boat
Listed over and tried to capsize.
I'm this far from drowning,
This far from the sea,
I remember the living
Do they think of me?
When my bones in the ocean
Forever will be.
Now that I'm staring down
At the darkest abyss.
I'm not sure what I want
But I don't think it's this
As my comrades call to stand
Fast and forge on
I make sail for the dawn
'till the darkness has gone.
As the souls of the dead
Live for'er in my mind.
As I live all the years
That they left me behind
I'll stay on the shore
But still gaze at the sea
I remember the fallen
And they think of me
For our souls in the ocean
Together will be.
I remember the fallen
And they think of me,
For our souls in the ocean
Together will be.
