Bones in the Ocean lyrics

Oh, I bid farewell to the port and the land

and I paddle away from brave England's white sands

To search for my long ago forgotten friends

to search for the place I hear all sailors end

As the souls of the dead fill the space of my mind

I'll search without sleeping 'til 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 through 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 solace of rest

As the souls 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 deaths 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 'til 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
