sea shanty
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke to the crash and the splinters of dawn
Hands aching raw from the fight to hold on
The hull ran aground where the blue waters part
Salt on our faces, hope in our hearts
[Pre-Chorus]
We counted the losses, remembered each name
Watched sails in the distance get lost with the rain
[Chorus]
Oh raise up your glass for the salt and the brine
Cast far from home where the old stars shine
We've found a lost island, wild and divine
Is it freedom or fate we will find?
[Post-Chorus]
Hey hey ho ho
Where do we go?
Hey hey ho ho
Stay or row?
[Verse 2]
Green vines in the wind and the sun in our hair
The taste of the mango, sweet summer air
But shadows grow long as we stare at the sea
Do we follow the tide, or let go and be free?
[Pre-Chorus]
We sing by the fire as night starts to fall
Our home lost behind us, our backs to the wall
[Chorus]
Oh raise up your glass for the salt and the brine
Cast far from home where the old stars shine
We've found a lost island, wild and divine
Is it freedom or fate we will find?
[Post-Chorus]
Hey hey ho ho
Where do we go?
Hey hey ho ho
Stay or row?
[Verse 3]
One says the gold's in the roots and the rain
Better build up a life, let go of the pain
But the other remembers the cliffs of our coast
Says nothing here matters as much as a ghost
[Chorus]
Oh raise up your glass for the salt and the brine
Cast far from home where the old stars shine
We've found a lost island, wild and divine
Is it freedom or fate we will find?
[Post-Chorus]
Hey hey ho ho
Where do we go?
Hey hey ho ho
Stay or row?
[Chorus]
Oh raise up your glass for the salt and the brine
Cast far from home where the old stars shine
We've found a lost island, wild and divine
Is it freedom or fate we will find?
[Post-Chorus]
Hey hey ho ho
Where do we go?
Hey hey ho ho
Stay or row?
[Post-Chorus]
Hey hey ho ho
Where do we go?
Hey hey ho ho
Stay or row?
Where do we go?
Stay or row?
