Whence We Came Lyrics

My daddy was a writer

He told me 'bout the world

'Bout kings and queens, things he'd never seen

That were perfect for a little girl

But now I am a sailor

And it's all I will ever be

Seen the setting sun, been to hell and beyond

The devil and the deep blue sea

Oh the world keeps crumbling around

Oh but I can't stand to plant my tired sea-legs on the ground

The sea's a lonely place it's true

What good's a captain without a crew

The sea's a lonely place I know

But I can't, I can't, I can't

Live upon the shore

High upon the sea

I want to be, I want to be

High upon the waves

Is where I will spend the rest of my days

High upon the sea

I want to be, I want to be

High upon the waves

Is where I will spend the rest of my days

The sea's a lonely place it's true

The sea's a lonely place it's true

So point me home lighthouse beacon

I've been following the stars but they won't lead the way

Point me home lighthouse beacon

In the darkest night, I can't find my way

But when the morning comes, I'll be on my way

My daddy was a writer

He told me 'bout the world

'Bout kings and queens, things he'd never seen

That were perfect for a little girl

But now I am a sailor

And it's all I will ever be

If I have my way, at the end of days

I'll take the locker over Fiddler's Green

High upon the sea

I want to be, I want to be

High upon the waves

Is where I will spend the rest of my days

High upon the sea

I want to be, I want to be

High upon the waves

Is where I will spend the rest of my days
