That's what it's all for let's kill each other And drift away War! Bear Down! Hold fast lads! Prepare for close quarters! Don't give up the ship!

Take Take me home I'm tired and sick of the waves, and the sea, and the storm, Wake me up I'm restless and listless from pulling and sheeting these ropes Take me Home Let's go down to the shoreline and greet them Let's go down to the sea to keep them warm All that I really ask is to be forgiven I've been bad, I've been banned, I've been bruised, and now I'm alone. Breathe Breathe on me! I've got to get air in these lungs or I'll sink to the deep Throw Throw your rope It's cold in this water, and treading is waning on me Breathe on me! Let's go down to the shoreline and greet them Let's go down to the sea to keep them warm All that I really ask is to be forgiven I've been bad, I've been banned, I've been bruised, and now I'm alone. All I see in the sky, are sparrows Dying, and crashing in to the waves below Take my word the hope died with their wingspans Hold a light to guide, I'll come back home I can paddle my way until I'm exhausted You can lend me your hand to fasten my raft But this rope is frayed, and won't last a fortnight But if you, my sweetheart, see me often The hope, and the sun, and the colours will keep us bright Let's go down to the shoreline and greet them Let's go down to the sea to keep them warm All that I really ask is to be forgiven I've been bad, I've been banned, I've been bruised, and now I'm alone.

I've tried holding my breath I've tried tying my neck I've tried pills, and booze, and guns I've tried almost everything my girl to escape from the numb So this one last time, hear me out, I'm telling you how it goes down I'm killing myself by sailing out to become one with the reef Well, I'm killing myself I'm killing myself with the sea I've sailed away, and folded my clothes, and diving in so deep girl to become one with the reef.

I'm a Barefoot Man Who sunk his ship By will, and not by fate And as I let the waves come in, I can't remember your face For the greatest crime I've yet to commit, is not my suicide Its the endless thought that I left ye there, among the pit and the pace. For I'm not going to make it home. Now my lungs have taken in all they can of dissolved oxygen In a part per million like the sun, as if it was still there For the greatest crime I'm about to commit, is not my suicide It's that death has come to my will and my fight to see you by my side. For I'm not going to make it home.
