Sarah Brightman Lyrics

Album: Dive

A Salty Dog Lyrics

All hands on deck

 We've run afloat

 I heard the captain cry

 Explore the ship

 Replace the cook

 Let no one leave alive

 Across the straits

 Around the horn

 How far can sailors fly

 A twisted path

 Our tortured course

 And no one left alive

 

 We sailed for parts

 Unknown to man

 Where ships come home to die

 No lofty peak

 Nor fortress hold

 Could match our captain's eye

 

 Upon the seventh sea sick day

 We made our port of call

 A sand so white

 And seas so blue

 No mortal place at all

 

 We fired the gun

 And burned the mast

 And rowed from ship to shore

 The captain cried

 We sailors wept

 Our tears were tears of joy

 How many moons

 And many Junes

 Have passed since we made land

 A salty dog

 The seaman's log

 Your witness, my own hand
