Imelda Kehoe - Sara Rose Lyrics
Heave, Heave, till the boats are all ashore.HeaveAll Souls lost, the crew of The Sarah Rose.Heave.By dawn, all calm, Sea of Mercury.By dusk, rain fell like stones.Weary the space between the soul and the bone.HeaveStorms draws the sea closer to the sky,Promise of only sorrowWave over bow, overladen they knewThe Rose would not see tomorrowMayday from the bridge. Hear the giant roarBy dark a hurricane.One by one, they line the shorePrayers said again.The fault of the stars, God’s great affair.Something waits in the deepNow is the time, say ‘You are mine’A place for you to sleepSun always has a new story to tell, view from aboveSeagull, he heard the Sea’s last word. A Fatherly Love.Heave, Heave, till the boats are all ashoreHeave
