Lyrics
My Home Is The Sea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I have often said
That I would like to be dead
In a shark's mouth
A woman swimming under
Her warm breath sending a thunder
Onto parts south
And love is stripped and frayed
Duty is delayed
Until next life
Someone has my mind
Holding it so kind
It is my wife
And my home is the sea
My home is the sea
Look not for me
And my home is the sea
Disaster flies upon me
And I scream
Now we can see the house lights
Colored from a distance
[For a party as a dream ?]
And tumble into me
My arms enfold thee sea
'Cause I'm a strong man
And good night love, my tummy
Is round and firm and funny
And that's what I am
And my home is the sea
My home is the sea
And I am under your spell
And you will have me I reckon
And the drowning this town
Is a drowning I welcome
I know nothing and I'm overjoyed
I know nothing and I'm overjoyed
I know nothing and I'm overjoyed
God gave you life and thought
Now it's ours to waste
I have the finest love
And the finest taste
And with the sea air in my lungs
I am home
(You are home)
