I'll Sail The Ship Towards The Sky

Lyrics:

I’m finally home
You won’t have to sleep alone no more
Don’t get up
Don’t lose sleep for me now
I’m here now
I won’t go anywhere 
 
No more waiting…
No more wasting our time anymore
No more fading…
No more facing the shine anymore

And no more sound above our ground will fill those ears
And no more lies told from these eyes will bring you tears

No more waiting…
No more wasting our time anymore
No more fading…
No more facing the shine  anymore
Don’t you worry…
We won’t hurry this time or anymore 
No more waking…
Up too early, close your eyes, go back to bed

And no more sound above our ground will fill those ears
And no more lies told from these eyes will bring you tears
And my disease I call the sea won’t raise your fears

Don’t fight the night
Sleep ‘till dawn’s light 

No more waiting…
No more wasting our time anymore
No more fading…
No more facing the shine anymore
Don’t you worry…
We won’t hurry, this time is all we have
No more waking…
Up too early, close your eyes, go back to bed…

Dawn's Lullaby

Dusk Lullaby

Lyrics:

When I finally docked home in the night
I saw your glow above the sand, what a sight
To see the end of the love of my life
Going up in a beautiful blaze of light
 
But I can’t believe my eyes
I saw pieces of you in the sky, burning bright
A shine in my eye, what a brilliant way to die
 
The few things saved from the flames bore your name
Letters addressed to me out at sea
If I’d only known what I now know
I swear I’d never have let you go, ‘till we died
 
But I’m here alone by your side
As I gaze into your empty eyes
So I wrote this lullaby, what a way to say goodbye

Letter From The Sea Part II

Waggles [Cabin Fever]

Lyrics:

Dearest Renata,
I write you from the sea
I am lost in grief
I plead you please believe
I tried to write
A happy song for you
Where I take you to ride
On a sailboat in the sky
But I keep falling back into minor keys

I’m lost in your mind
I can’t find a way to rhyme
About the words you said
Or rather, did not say
Hesitating at your door
You know I wanted so much more
Would’ve let you have your way
Had you’d only begged me “stay”
But I left without hearing “goodbye”

Now I face two years at sea
With no one waiting home for me
Our passionate affair
Was swept away by winter’s air
So I’ll rejoin my mistress here
With her waves so clear and blue
And if I ever come back ‘round
Into town and I see you
Though I may give you a frown
It’s a wry smile upside-down
No, I won’t look you in the eyes 
I know they’ll only sell me lies
And now that I’ve cut my ties
I’ll have the easiest goodbye,
Yeah, I’ll be happiest sailor in the sea

Letter From The Sea

Lyrics:

Stuck on this ship for ten months now
God, I shouldn’t have joined the navy
I still have three long months to go till I see my darling lady
 
So many gulls above my head
Crying oh so loudly
Reminding me how unfree I am, they mock my flightless body

All of the kids run through the town 
All but one are smiling
The women all tend to sleep around while the men are killing, dying

I don’t know what I’m going to do
I don’t know what will save me
Careful, I might just be one that sends you to the god what made ye…

A Shanty For The Idle Navyman

When I saw you standing dockside
It was the last time I felt alive
You patched me up in more ways than one
And now I’ll see if I can walk again

And twenty years on I hope that you’ll see
Why it is I had to leave
You know that I would’ve died for you
But promise you won’t do the same for me

I hope you had fun (while it lasted)
I hope you had fun (when we were still young)
I hope you had fun (was it worth it?)
I hope you had fun (it’s never coming back)

We don’t know where we’re going
And we don’t know if we’ll survive
I don’t know where our ship’s headed
But for the moment we’re alive

I hope you had fun
I hope you had fun

I Hope You Had Fun

Lyrics:

Here, we have the story of a boy
And how he lost his life
So keep your ears and eyes employed,
We’ll tell you of his strife

He found himself in the middle of a war
The cause he knew not for
Sent to die in the middle of july
Eighteen Forty Four

As time wore on he quickly found
Not all was as it seemed
Valor and glory quickly turned 
To needless cruelty

But how he fought so bravely through 
As he charged into the foe
Though he felt their pain inside
He never let it show

How he watched his brothers go
Falling to their foe in droves
As he sailed the great unknown 
Filled with fear he never showed
It won’t matter if he’s saved	
He’ll still be lying in that grave	
Evil by his circumstance
No, he never had a chance

And sometimes sailors still will see him
Haunted by the war
His spirit resting nevermore,
His soul lost to this shore 

Now in the full moon’s light you may
Hear cries come from the waves
Still he searches endlessly
For the soul he lost that day
