Coope, Boyes & Simpson - The Sea Must Have an Ending lyrics
As the gale blows out and leaves a breeze Not fit to blow a candle out, The stinging rain will dry, And life goes on again, you need not doubt. Torn sails mend and spars renew, And Bristol fashion once more reigns, And weary bodies sleep secure, Knowing they are safe again. Chorus: Tho we're all bound to go, Our thoughts to you are winging, And homeward is our dream, For the sea must have an ending. Outward bound from friends and lovers, Emerald fields fade into gray. She dances slow to deep new rhythms, Watch on, watch and day by day, White gulls wheeled and sang farewell When you left old England's strand, And down the latitudes they'll greet When you're closing foreign lands. Chorus The great ships traded 'round the world, Driven just by wind and tide, From polar canvas hard as iron To doldrum days you nearly fried. And down the trade on heaping decks, White sails towering to the sky, Aching backs and hands afire, All plain (sailstire) full and by. Chorus And when the long trip's done at last, Sea chests stowed, all battened down, To go or stay is Jack's dilemma, He's all asea on solid ground. But mem'ries dark and salty dreams, For the sea will always take its own, And like a siren call the young Off to sail when they are grown. Chorus 2x |
