I fell in love with the sea one night
To a song about the waves in the pale moonlight
By a girl with her lyre, hair bright as fire
I fell in love with lies
Heave-ho, take me home
To horses, hills, and brambles
Heave-ho, take me home
I na'er again shall roam
Below I huddle while they laugh at me on deck
If given the chance they'd each break my neck
If I drop my guard I'll be thrown overboard
And they won't let me forget
Heave-ho, take me home
To horses, hills, and brambles
Heave-ho, take me home
I na'er again shall roam
I've not seen speck of land for far too many days
Before my eyes, the world's an empty haze
And I fear
This journey won't end before I can mend
Dear God! The sea's my grave
I fell in love with the sea one night
(Heave-ho take me home)
To a song about the waves in the pale moonlight
(To horses hills and brambles)
By a girl with her lyre, hair bright as fire
(Heave-ho take me home)
I fell in love with lies
(I ne'er again shall roam)
Heave-ho, take me home
To horses, hills, and brambles
Heave-ho, take me home
I na'er again shall roam
