Among The Oak & Ash - Devil Ship lyrics

Artist: Among The Oak & Ash

album: Devil Ship


Well met, well met, my own true love,
Well met, well met, said he.
You've gone away with another, my love,
And thus forsaken me.
I do not cry for my broken heart,
And nor for your broken vow,
It's for your children who ask after you,
That I'm cryin now.
And I am just a house carpenter,
That's all that I wanna be,
But you took from me everything that I had,
And stole across the sea.
But leave it to a messenger,
To only bring bad news,
On the fly he brought me to mine,
None which I could use.
Set sail, set sail, the captain said,
I have what I've come for,
He gave to her the strangest lands
She'd ever seen before.
And I am just a house carpenter,
That's all that I wanna be,
But you took from me everything that I had,
And stole across the sea.
I've heard sad stories all my life,
But none so sad as this,
A mile from shore a storm came forth,
And stirred that black abyss.
The gallant ship spun one time around,
She prayed forgive me please,
Too late, too late, said the devil's first mate,
Your soul belongs to the seas.
And I am just a house carpenter,
That's all that I wanna be,
But you took from me everything that I had,
And stole across the sea.
Now, I'm not a man of many words,
Or one of great discern,
There are many lessons that we are taught
And few that we will learn.
What I can say without regret,
To keep you safe from wrath,
Content yourself with your circumstance,
Be happy with the life you have.
