the pine box boys - to the blue lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
eliza won’t you come with me
to the ocean, to the sea?
i will take you for my wife
with this ring i pledge my life
i’ll bear the burden of our shame and leave behind the family name
and i’ll forswear all other loves and you will do the same
i have got some money saved to take us both across the waves
where one day we’ll be buried in a cold and lonely grave

[verse 2]
willie, i won’t go with you
to the ocean, to the blue
you won’t take me for your wife
i know you carry with you a knife
and i can’t figure out what’s worse: the burden of this a b-st-rd’s curse
to carry both a child with a torn and empty purse
or take you back into my bed, believing all the things you said
smile while i slumber, but by morning i’ll be dead

[verse 3]
eliza you do rightly see
now get your coat, come go with me
i’ll take you out across the foam
and sink you there with a stone
i’ll stay there and i’ll pray with you while you sink into the blue
throw a rose into the sea, it’s the least that i can do
when i return unto the sh0r- and offer up the coat you wore
through a veil of wicked tears i will swear to love me more

[verse 4]
willie i will go with you
but you’ll regret what you do
so he took her by the hand
to the sh0r-, to the sand
driven by the salty air to the boat that he had grounded there
and a bag of heavy stones that he knotted to her hair
he put his back into the oars and took them farther from the sh0r-
until the vengeful ocean into the little boat did pour

[verse 5]
willie had his back to her
he didn’t notice when she stirred
with the stones that to her hair were bound
she stood up and knocked him down
she pushed him from the tiny boat, and feared to see old willie float
she smiled to herself and she b-ttoned up her coat
taken to the ocean floor by the ones that he had drowned before
wet and bony hands that pushed the boat to the sh0r-

[outro]
singing, hey wind, rise no more
eliza row that boat to sh0r-
hey wind, rise no more
eliza row that boat to sh0r-
hey wind, rise no more
eliza row that boat to sh0r-
hey wind, rise no more
eliza row that boat to sh0r-
willie i won’t go with you
to the ocean, to the blue
