The Tiger Lillies - Sailor Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • And the sailors, they sing sad songs,
  • About the sea that eats them whole.
  • And the sailors they sing sad songs,
  • Food for fishes shoals.
  • And the wind it blows inland,
  • And the death you can smell.
  • Smashed on rocks and smashed on boulders,
  • Smashed in living hell.
  • And their loved ones wait for hours,
  • Await the fate of the cruel sea
  • And if loved ones don't return,
  • There's no security.
  • Just the work-house when they grow old,
  • To lay their weary heads,
  • And the sound of the sea singing
  • Until they are dead.
  • And the sea that bears its harvest
  • It exacts a heavy toll,
  • Mothers, fathers, brothers, uncles,
  • With no corpses to behold.
  • Sailing out into the darkness,
  • Every day of the year.
  • Sailing out into the darkness,
  • With a prayer, and with fear
  • And with fear,
  • With a prayer, and with fear.
  • And with fear.
