Married to the Sea

On a grey September morning I stood upon the prow I said a prayer and bowed my head as we both exchanged our vows And I swear I heard a voice say now you belong to me And in that special moment I was married to the sea I used to be a landlubber back then, for what it's worth But I lost my wife and only son while she was giving birth And the ocean spray it soothes my pain 'n somehow sets me free It was then I decided I was married to the sea Married to the sea. She sends a salty gust of wind to kiss me on the cheek Married to the sea. The power of the ocean reminds me the flesh is weak Forever I'll be married to the sea So I wake up every morning; greet my temperamental bride Sometimes she's calm and gentle and happily I glide Other times she's feisty and directs her rage at me But I wouldn't have it any other way, married to the sea Married to the sea. She sends a salty gust of wind to kiss me on the cheek Married to the sea. The power of the ocean reminds me the flesh is weak Forever I'll be married to the sea I go to sleep at night never knowing what's in store She'll make a merry widow on the day that I'm no more But 'til then I'll take what bounty she offers up to me Until I sleep eternal I'll be married to the sea Married to the sea. She sends a salty gust of wind to kiss me on the cheek Married to the sea. The power of the ocean reminds me the flesh is weak Forever I'll be married to the sea Forever I'll be married to the sea
