When you're at sea, Please be careful Of the storms and the sharks And the whales and the dark Watch out for wrecks Swab the decks Steady at starboard And hard to port While a hand made of water picks you up and puts you down. When you're at sea With your hands on the wheel Keep it under control Looking through your port hole And a giant turtle on the back of another It's the oceans grandmother on the back of the turtle With the head of a bird And this tower of turtles Is eternal immortal Right outside of your portal And the ocean so deep
Gently rocks you to sleep When you're at sea Tucked into your bunk bed Put a shell to your ear And the sound that you hear Is all the thoughts inside your head Upside down and backwards So itt turns into one word When you're at sea All alone in your cabin Watching the waves flow And reading a book Sing a sea song Write some lines in your log Patch all the cracks Check all the maps And The port star will stay Just as far far away And a hand made of water picks you up and puts you down again And the ocean so deep gently rocks you to sleep
