Quiet Hollers - Deep Sea Mama lyrics

The Western Ocean's unforgiving tides How the sunlight breaks the water here Reminds me of her eyes As I sink into that blacking deep I pray my deep sea mama will come round And rescue me The Captain of my vessel Was an old and cruel man I would not lash my brothers But only do best as I can They drug me from my quarters And they asked me how I pled And I would not change my story "into the deep" was what they said Adorned in j**els and golden chains Stolen from the drowning sailors That she's chosen not to save Will I be the one to change her mind? Or will my skin wash from my bones Down here beneath the reach of time As light falls farther from my eyes A calmness washes over me And I am not afraid to die As she wraps her arms around me She sings to me That some day every sailor will come rest down here with me
