The shirt on my back is the shirt in the water
Gave myself to your last living daughter
Taught her no and she ever ought to be
You've gone away for the end of the summer
I'd like to stay but I've had no supper
Taught her no and she ever ought to be
And you give yourself,
You give yourself
You give yourself unto the sea
Your parents stayed til the end of the service
Raise a toast to the death of the duchess
Stronger, no, I have suffered much less
Than you
The angel's sword and the tune you were playing
Shantymen sang their hymns in the rain
You last disgust at the world as you feign
Hope and love
And you give yourself,
You give yourself
You give yourself unto the sea
The ship is sailing, hold my hand
You've cut your lip and you're drunk my friend
Houses severed end to end
The ship is sailing, hold my hand
The ship is sailing, hold my hand
(You give yourself, you give yourself)
You've cut your lip and you're drunk my friend
(You give yourself unto the sea)
Houses severed end to end
(You give yourself, you give yourself)
The ship is sailing, hold my hand
(You give yourself unto the sea)
You give yourself, you give yourself
You give yourself unto the sea
