the longest johns - bones in the ocean lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
oh, i bid farewell to the port and the land
and i paddle away from brave england’s white sands
to search for my long ago forgotten friends
to search for the place i hear all sailors end

[chorus 1]
as the souls of the dead fill the space of my mind
i’ll search without sleeping til’ peace i can find
i fear not the weather, i fear not the sea
i remember the fallen… do they think of me?
when their bones in the ocean, forever will be

[verse 2]
plot a course to the night, to a place i once knew
to a place where my hope died along with my crew
so i swallow my grief and face life’s final test
t’ find promise of peace and the solace of rest

[chorus 2]
as the souls of the dead fill the space of my ears
their laughter like children, their beckoning cheers
my heart longs to join them, sing songs of the sea
i remember the fallen… do they think of me?
when their bones in the ocean, forever will be

[verse 3]
when at last, before my ghostly shipmates i stand
i shed a small tear for my home upon land
though their eyes speak of depths filled with struggle and strife
their smiles below say i don’t owe them my life

[chorus 3]
as the souls of the dead fill the space of my eyes
and my boat listed over and tried to capsize
i’m this far from drowning, this far from the sea
i remember the living… do they think of me?
when my bones in the ocean, forever will be

[bridge]
now the time’s staring down at the darkest abyss
i’m not sure what i want, but i don’t think it’s this
as my comrades call to stand fast and forge on…
i make sail for the dawn until the darkness has gone

[chorus 4]
as the souls of the dead live fore’er in my mind
as i live all the years that they left me behind
i’ll stay on the shore but still gaze at the sea
i remember the fallen and they think of me
for our souls in the ocean, together we’ll be

[ending]
i remember the fallen and they think of me…
for our souls in the ocean, together we’ll be
