The National Lights - Swift Ships lyrics

Artist: The National Lights

album: Whom the Sea Will Keep


I was a boy about your age
If you can believe it
When I lifted on a cool trade wind
And never yet to leave it
I had the love of a woman then
If you can believe her
So bless swift ships and honest men
And the lass that loves a sailor
I've shook hands with kings and thieves
And lined my shirt with silver
But not once in these 30 years
Have I returned to see her
When these planks and bolts make port
Leave these ocean waters
A fool is he, the man that leaves
The lass that loves a sailor
My lad
Let the land and not the water
Seal your grave
