the brothers four - the waves roll out lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh, come along boys, i’ll sing you a song
of the days when the fish were thick, and i was young and strong
we set sail one morning in the t++th of a howling wind

[chorus]
and the waves roll out, and the waves roll in
and the waves roll out, and the waves roll in

[verse 2]
then late that night, there rose a gale
and it snapped the mast like a stick of wood, and it ripped the sail
you should’ve seen the compass whirl as the ship began to spin
[chorus]
and the waves roll out, and the waves roll in
and the waves roll out, and the waves roll in

[verse 3]
then the sea turned red, and the sky went white
and i heard a weird and wailing cry tear through the night
and the sea opened up like a gaping mouth and pulled us screaming in

[chorus]
and the waves roll out, and the waves roll in
and the waves roll out, and the waves roll in

[verse 4]
and there i saw on the ocean floor
the sailors drowned and dead for thirty years or more
their bony skinless toothless jaws in a ghostly ghastly grin

[chorus]
and the waves roll out, and the waves roll in
and the waves roll out, and the waves roll in

[verse 5]
and every eye turned toward the shore
and every leg was chained there to the ocean floor
and each cried out for the ones on land they’d never see again
[chorus]
and the waves roll out, and the waves roll in
and the waves roll out, and the waves roll in

[verse 6]
their ghostly eyes burned through the sea
and each one screamed and reached a bony hand for me
crying, “this is the grave of the sailors d+mned to pay for a life of sin”

[chorus]
and the waves roll out, and the waves roll in
and the waves roll out, and the waves roll in

[verse 7]
the morning found me by the shore
and none believed i was the man who’d sailed the day before
my hair was white, my eyes were old, and i was bent and thin

[chorus]
and the waves roll out, and the waves roll in
and the waves roll out, and the waves roll in

[verse 8]
so bully boys, you’ve heard my song
about the days when the fish were thick and i was young and strong
i’ve told of the curse that waits for you if you hold to your life of sin
[outro]
and the waves roll out, and the waves roll in
and the waves roll in
