And the ocean ain't too wide To sit here by my side Or to let me know When you come and go, you come and go And the ocean ain't too round To sail into the sound Where I sit with you And hear a yawn or two Of the waves and the dark Of the waves and the sharks Just a few To the sailor that I never knew Who traded all his kin for booze
And who*es and all your troubles with the line Like fish are never saved by hooks A sinner can't be saved by a book With stories of a man who made the world Oh, so pray upon your fear And know that I won't be here I won't be here But what's did can't be undone Now this sailor's son Has left here with his liquor and his gun
