The Eskies - Heave Away lyrics

Artist: The Eskies

album: After the Sherry Went Round


She could tie me to the anchor,
Throw the old thing overboard,
Strap my arms down to a cannon,
If I could swim back up I'd thank her,
To have ever crossed her sword
Mater in Mare, Eleison,
Mater in Mare, Eleison.
I had been clinging on to you but I lost my grip,
In a belly full of smoke on a sinking ship,
I lost my way,
While everywhere I turned I could see your face,
Any efforts made to find you were to go to waste,
I lost my way,
Mater in Mare, Eleison,
Mater in Mare, Eleison.
Heave away boys,
Heave away boys,
Take us home.
Heave away boys,
Heave away boys,
Take us home.
They found me clinging to a piece of a splintered hull,
Pulled me up out of the water like a starving gull,
I would have stayed,
For only in the salty water could I be,
With the last remaining pieces of your memory,
I would have stayed.
Mater in Mare, Eleison,
Mater in Mare, Eleison.
Heave away boys,
Heave away boys,
Take us home.
Heave away boys,
Heave away boys,
Take us home.
Heave away boys,
(Heave!)
Heave away boys,
(Heave!)
Take us home.
Heave away boys,
(Heave!)
Heave away boys,
(Heave!)
Take us home.
