Lyrics The Whaler - Thrice

My lover's arms
Ooh they beg me to stay
But I know the storms
They will sweep me away

My daughter's eyes
They are two tiny seas
Whose water will rise
And then run down her cheeks

"Father, where do you go
So far out upon the sea?
When are you coming home to me?"

"Darling, why do you leave
As the north wind begins to blow?
Will you be coming home to me?"

The boat and the blade
They are all that I know
The sea calls my name
And so I must go

And while they still sleep
I slip out through the door
But how can I leave
With my anchors ashore?

"Father where do you go?
It's farther than I can see
Where are you coming home to me?"

"Darling why do you leave
As the north wind begins to blow?
Will you be coming home to me?"

Ahh...
