[Verse 1]
A lonely sailor
Wishing he was older as he braves on through the night
Oh, his hands feel strained with his eyes in pain as he looks out for the light
You were a saviour
And now you're just a painful thought that pierces through his mind
He can say he's fine as he shrugs aside
While he looks out for a sign
[Vocalising]
[Verse 2]
All alone, cold ocean, row me home
Do him a favour
Listen to his words and try to throw him out a line
Oh, watch as he appreciates the moments of your time
Water rage on
Do your worst and crash against his face until he's blind
He'll lose his way and make mistakes
But believe me, he'll be fine
[Vocalising]
[Chorus]
All alone, cold ocean, row me home
All alone, cold ocean, row me home
[Vocalising]
[Chorus]
All alone, cold ocean, row me home
All alone, cold ocean, row me home
Sailor was written by Daniel McCarthy & Jim Higson.
Sailor was produced by Beni Giles.
This is probably the one I find most difficult to listen to, just because it’s very sad. I went through a breakup just before lockdown. We originally thought we were going to be on tour for months and then into festivals, and then releasing music. I was like, ‘Oh, lovely—non-stop distractions.’ And...
We get asked a lot, ‘Is writing a form of therapy for you?’ And Dan was saying, ‘Absolutely not. I was miserable when I was writing it—and when I listen to it, it makes me feel miserable.’
