The Sailor and the Sea (Sea Shanty) Lyrics

I met her young, I met her bold

With silver waves and heart so cold

She whispered low, she roared with might

And stole my soul one stormy night

Oh, deep blue, I follow thee

Take my breath and set me free

Crash and call, wild and wide

You're my love, my death, my bride

She held me close, she pulled me tight

She danced with me in pale moonlight

But when I begged to stay ashore

She laughed and claimed me evermore

Oh, deep blue, I follow thee

Take my breath and set me free

Crash and call, wild and wide

You're my love, my death, my bride

Now old and weak, I stand alone

My bones like driftwood, turned to stone

Yet when she sings, I can't deny

I'll sail her depths, and say goodbye

Oh, deep blue, I follow thee

Take my breath and set me free

Crash and call, wild and wide

You're my love, my death, my bride

Oh, deep blue, I follow thee

Take my breath and set me free

Crash and call, wild and wide

You're my love, my death, my bride
