lyrics

Darlin’ will you let me in
It could be my last time through again
You know me and you know dry land
The ocean you don’t understand

Sometimes I wish you’d get to me
Faster than the ones that I can’t see
They haunt my dreams back to the sea
Sometimes I wish we’d talk ‘em free

Well you think you can save me
And I’m glad you try
But I’ll be gone by tomorrow night
Feed me water, wine and bread
And find a place to lay my head

Before the mornin’ if I die
Take my bones from where they lie
Put me on a train before you hurt
You can keep my favorite shirt

Take me to the edge of God’s green earth
Leave me there for what I was worth
My soul will kick and twitch enough
To kick this coffin off its bluff
Where I’ll rest in the cradle of the deep blue sea
‘Cause she’s the only one for me
