based on the poem by John Masefield, "Sea Fever".
lyrics
lyrics
----------
I must go down to the seas again,
To the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship
And a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song
And the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face,
And a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again,
For the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call
That may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day
With the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume,
And the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again,
To the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way
Where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn
From a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream
When the long trick is over.
----------
I must go down to the seas again,
To the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship
And a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song
And the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face,
And a grey dawn breaking.
I must go down to the seas again,
For the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call
That may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day
With the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume,
And the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again,
To the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way
Where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn
From a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream
When the long trick is over.
