Lyrics Bones in the Ocean - The Longest Johns
Oh,
I
bid
farewell
to
the
port
and
the
land
And
I
paddle
away
from
brave
England's
white
sands
To
search
for
my
long
ago
forgotten
friends
To
search
for
the
place
I
hear
all
sailors
end
As
the
souls
of
the
dead
fill
the
space
of
my
mind
I'll
search
without
sleeping
'til
peace
I
can
find
I
fear
not
the
weather,
I
fear
not
the
sea
I
remember
the
fallen,
do
they
think
of
me?
When
their
bones
in
the
ocean
forever
will
be
Plot
a
course
to
the
night
to
a
place
I
once
knew
To
a
place
where
my
hope
died
along
with
my
crew
So
I
swallow
my
grief
and
face
life's
final
test
To
find
promise
of
peace
and
the
solace
of
rest
As
the
songs
of
the
dead
fill
the
space
of
my
ears
Their
laughter
like
children,
their
beckoning
cheers
My
heart
longs
to
join
them,
sing
songs
of
the
sea
I
remember
the
fallen,
do
they
think
of
me?
When
their
bones
in
the
ocean
forever
will
be
When
at
last
before
my
ghostly
shipmates
I
stand
I
shed
a
small
tear
for
my
home
upon
land
Though
their
eyes
speak
of
depths
filled
with
struggle
and
strife
Their
smiles
below
say
I
don't
owe
them
my
life
As
the
souls
of
the
dead
fill
the
space
of
my
eyes
And
my
boat
listed
over
and
tried
to
capsize
I'm
this
far
from
drowning,
this
far
from
the
sea
I
remember
the
living,
do
they
think
of
me?
When
my
bones
in
the
ocean
forever
will
be
Now
that
I'm
staring
down
at
the
darkest
abyss
I'm
not
sure
what
I
want,
but
I
don't
think
it's
this
As
my
comrades
call
to
stand
fast
and
forge
on
I
make
sail
for
the
dawn
'til
the
darkness
has
gone
As
the
souls
of
the
dead
live
for'er
in
my
mind
As
I
live
all
the
years
that
they
left
me
behind
I'll
stay
on
the
shore
but
still
gaze
at
the
sea
I
remember
the
fallen
and
they
think
of
me
For
our
souls
in
the
ocean
together
will
be
I
remember
the
fallen
and
they
think
of
me
For
our
souls
in
the
ocean
together
will
be
