Sea Song

Hear me, friends! My story goes That I was left alone I was miles from the shore And friends, furthermore I looked both to the windward and lee And saw naught but the sea May found me in that sorry state Drowning in my place He pulled me aboard My strength he restored And he asked me, Sir, where is your home I said I didn't know He brought me to his lighthouse home Wherein he lived alone A beacon of light Sure, it cut through the night And it cut through the darkness in me And now, friends, I'm free The sea will rock, and the wind will blow This bothers me not, for I'm never alone I gathered my things and I settled with May And in his brilliant light, I'll spend all of my days So, all you sailors, hear me now Before you're left to drown Find you a man With strong-gripping hands And a lighthouse that cuts through the dark And to him, give your heart
