The Drowned Waltz

I hope ye lads be sound asleep

In yer bunks above the deep

I hope yer dreams be nice 'n' dry

Warm 'n' comfy ye best lie

Fer I, a sailor lost at sea

Who down below the waves now be

I slipped and tumbled overboard

Me screams fer help ye just ignored

To halt 'n' turn yer ship around

So that yer matey might be found

Was not yer first priority

Ye left me floatin' there at sea

To halt 'n' turn yer ship around

So that yer matey might be found

Was not yer first priority

I sank, I sank into the sea

Where I lie, there be no light

Deep down here in an endless night

Where fish, they pick me scurvy bones

But at least I'm not alone

A thousand sailors restless lie

'Cause davey jones won't let us die

You say that with the fish we sleep

But there's no sleeping in the deep

No one to save our mortal souls

We're trapped inside this watery hole

Oh how I wish, I'm hoping so

One day we'll meet here, down below

No one to save our mortal souls

We're trapped inside this watery hole

Oh I wish, I'm hoping so

One day we'll meet here down below

No one to save yer mortal soul

We'll be trapped inside

This drowned waltz
