Oh I bid farewell to the port and the land
and I paddle away from from brave England's white sands.
To search for my long ago forgotten friends
to search for the place I hear old sailors 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 to 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 in bones 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 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 from the sea
I remember the living, do they think of me?
When my bones the ocean, forever will be.
Now the time's staring down at the darkest abyss
I'm not sure what I was but I don't think it's this.
As my comrades call to stand fast and for John
I make sail for the dawn till the darkness has gone.
As... the... souls of the dead live forever in my mind
as I live all the years 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...
