Description
I'm a seaman, lantern smoke upon the deck North Sea wind in my teeth, the rigging keeps the tide
Bosun's whistle cracks the dusk, salt stings my neck Half a year we chase the line where stars and currents run
They want a sailor boy — but the sea wants me I keep their letters folded where the oils can breathe They want a sailor boy — but the sea wants me And still I hold their names against the rolling heaves
I'm a seaman, white dives and women wait upon the harbor shore Lantern swing, bread bakes, the harbor smell is home They fold my photograph beside the window's floor I taste the brine and count the nights until I roam
They want a sailor boy — but the sea wants me Their voices rattle tight and through the gulls they call They want a sailor boy — but the sea wants me The ocean keeps its promise when the great storms fall Her letters' ink keeps me alive beneath the stars
I read the crooked lines by lantern flame and vow Loneliness is honest when the night is ours I mark the miles on maps and swore I'll make it back somehow
They want a sailor boy — but the sea wants me Soon I'll come back to the light of home and shore They want a sailor boy — but the sea wants me I'll bring the tide's forgiveness and steady it o'er
I'm a seaman, lantern, smoke upon the deck Half a year and then the key will know my name Bosnian's whistle fades to bells The harbor keeps the track, home waits wives and women And the sea will call the same
