Sailor Song (Hyde Park Demo) Lyrics

Been dreamin' of shore

I wake to the waves

As they crash 'gainst the boards

On which I sailed away

On that lonesome day

My gaze fixed on the sea

The low sky was gray

And solemn like me

She yelled "Honey, don't go

For what will I be"

But it's all that I know

And I slipped the knot from the cleat

Her eyes, like a well

Was drawing me in

But I stayed at the helm

Headed into the wind

A sad, small tear

On the hair of my cheek

I wiped it away

But not before I felt weak

Later that night

After tying one on

I looked up to the stars

And sang an ol' sailor song

It goes "Carry me home

To the woman I love

Take me back home

Ol' Stars up above

Carry me home

'Fraid to die on this ship

Put the wind to my back

Carry me home"

Been dreamin' of shore

I wake to the waves

As they crash 'gainst the boards

On which I sailed away
