Lyrics
Sailor Song
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 seen the endless waves breaking
On my vessel's side
Ten thousand silver whales laboring
In the shifting tide
Now I near the bottom
Tangled in the mast
I go to meet the crewmen
On a thousand ships of glass
See the soldiers' bodies twisted in the crimson snow
See the farmers graves positioned nearly in their rows
No grave for the swallowed sailor
For fisherman and slaves
No grave for the swallowed whalers
Who whisper on the waves
Down I go
Down I go
Down I go
Down to meet them all
