Colin Hay - Sea Dogs lyrics

Over seas and far away Heave away boys Sea dogs sail their lives away Heave away boys Ghosts of sea dogs at break of day Crusty beards and coats of grey Weigh the anchor let's be away From this day on we're carried by the wind Over seas and far away Heave away boys Sea dogs sail their lives away Heave away boys Creaky decks and ruthless men Ruled by the lash where some met their end The old world was new in all directions then Conquered by a few at the loss of so many Over seas and far away Heave away boys Sea dogs sail their lives away Heave away boys Over seas and far away Heave away boys Sea dogs sail their lives away Heave away boys “Crusty beards and bloodshot eyes Squint up at the sun Horizons hold fast and seduce the sea dogs over Some live to tell tall tales And some never returned Leaving only their dreams Carried by the sea”
