The Longest Johns - Bones in the Ocean
[00:00.00] Oh, I bid farewell to the port and the land
[00:03.29] And I paddle away from brave England's white sands
[00:08.21] To search for my long ago forgotten friends
[00:12.37] To search for the place I hear all sailers end
[00:16.87] As the souls of the dead fill the space of my mind
[00:21.37] I'll search without sleeping 'til peace I can find
[00:25.87] I fear not the weather, I fear not the sea
[00:30.12] I remember the fallen, do they think of me?
[00:34.88] When their bones in the ocean forever will be
[00:39.37] Plot a course to the night to a place I once knew
[00:43.89] To a place where my hope died along with my crew
[00:48.40] So I swallow my grief and face life's final test
[00:52.87] To find promise of peace and the solace of rest
[00:57.29] As the songs of the dead fill the space of my ears
[01:01.81] Their laughter like children, their beckoning cheers
[01:06.28] My heart longs to join them, sing songs of the sea
[01:10.78] I remember the fallen, do they think of me?
[01:15.28] When their bones in the ocean forever will be
[01:19.81] When at last before my ghostly shipmates I stand
[01:24.29] I shed a small tear for my home upon land
[01:29.06] Though their eyes speak of depths filled with struggle and strife
[01:33.28] Their smiles below say I don't owe them my life
[01:37.81] As the souls of the dead fill the space of my eyes
[01:42.23] And my boat listed over and tried to capsize
[01:46.73] I'm this far from drowning, this far from the sea,
[01:51.48] I remember the living do they think of me?
[01:55.99] When my bones in the ocean forever will be
[02:00.65] Now that I'm staring down at the darkest abyss
[02:07.32] I'm not sure what I want but I don't think it's this
[02:12.56] As my comrades call to stand fast and forge on
[02:20.05] I make sail for the dawn 'til the darkness has gone
[02:27.14] As the souls of the dead live for'er in my mind
[02:35.14] As I live all the years that they left me behind
[02:39.65] I'll stay on the shore but still gaze at the sea
[02:44.16] I remember the fallen and they think of me
[02:48.64] For our souls in the ocean together will be
[02:54.06] I remember the fallen and they think of me,
[03:00.48] For our souls in the ocean together will be
