Lyrics
I was born on island shores
And raised on maritime ways
Sailed many oceans
Over many sailors graves
Somehow I have survived
Throughout these long years
All my friends are long gone
But I won't shed no tears
Bury me by the sea
Let me hear them waves crash eternally
This island blood flows through my veins
Strong and proud won't ever fade
My island land is where I'll make my final stand
All alone across desert plains
Is the lonesome warriors way
Travelled far and wide
And sailed many oceans tides
Many strange sights I have seen
Many times I've been led astray
The temptations of the pistol
And the voice of the men I slay
Made my stand and held my own
Through countless years the flames I've sown
Tales of woe and glory and battles won
When I die there's only one place
That I would ever want to be
So when I'm laid to rest it's by the sea
I was always warned by crewmates I would die alone
A life of smuggling and crime with nothing left to show
But as I look back on those days I smile as I realise then
I have not one regret I would do it all again
Lay me down by the sea
The only place I want to be
As I close my weary eyes for the rest of time
So now my time is at an end
Have one last drink with me my friend
We'll talk and laugh about the good old days
Of all the battles, quests and riches
Fights, adventures and bonny wenches
Tales of woe and glory and battles won
My setting sun
Bury me by the sea
Let me hear them waves crash eternally
This island blood flows through my veins
Strong and proud won't ever fade
My island land is where I'll make my final stand
This island blood flows through me veins
Strong and proud won't ever fade
So let my last breath be by the sea
So as I close my eyes to die
Let me gaze up at that sky
And relive the memories
Of summer nights
So lay me down to die
In the golden sunlight
As it sets on me
Bury me by the sea
Let me hear them waves crash eternally
This island blood flows through my veins
Strong and proud won't ever fade
My island land is where I'll make my final stand
Bury me by the sea
(Where I'll rest eternally)
Let me hear them waves crash eternally
This island blood flows through my veins
Strong and proud won't ever fade
My island land is where I'll make my final stand
