Sailor Song (Hyde Park Demo)

Been dreamin' of shore I wake to the waves As they crash 'gainst the boards On which I sailed away On that lonesome day My gaze fixed on the sea The low sky was gray And solemn like me She yelled "Honey, don't go For what will I be" But it's all that I know And I slipped the knot from the cleat Her eyes, like a well Was drawing me in But I stayed at the helm Headed into the wind A sad, small tear On the hair of my cheek I wiped it away But not before I felt weak Later that night After tying one on I looked up to the stars And sang an ol' sailor song It goes "Carry me home To the woman I love Take me back home Ol' Stars up above Carry me home 'Fraid to die on this ship Put the wind to my back Carry me home" Been dreamin' of shore I wake to the waves As they crash 'gainst the boards On which I sailed away
