Flogging Molly - Cruel Mistress Lyrics
Next time out to seaBring enough soul to bury meFor I dont want my final jigIn the belly of a squidTake my trousers take my shirtJust give me that sweet dirtFor the waters cold and grimAnd I never did learn to swimNo her love never set me freeSo I set off for the oceanNow in my dreams she comes to meWhispering of peaceBut Ive known since the dayThat we sailed for santiagoHer dry embrace would kiss my faceNo never, no moreThe sea is a cruel mistressThe sea is a cruel mistressMany moons to the dayThat I threw her love awayNow every whale spouts go to hellAs the wind laughs in my faceIve grown harder on the eyesAnd salty to the tasteMy pride has gone with the wakeAs I wait a cold wet graveI rose to the smellOf a wet desert hellAnd I thought to myselfHowd I wind up in this jailTill a voice called to meFrom deep within the seaDry your eyes my dear fishermanYour ass belongs to meThe sea is a cruel mistressThe sea is a cruel mistressThe earth will rest my bonesLord I know, lord I knowBut Ill see you when I get homeFrom the cold, yeah from the coldNo her love never set me freeSo I set out for the oceanNow in my dreams she comes to meWhispering of peaceBut Ive known since the dayThat we sailed for santiagoHer dry embrace would kiss my faceNo never, no moreThe sea is a cruel mistressThe sea is a cruel mistressNext time out to seaBring enough soil to bury meFor I dont want my final jigIn the belly of a squidNext time out to seaBring enough soil to bury meFor in my dreams she comes to meWhispering of peace....
