I have often said That I would like to be dead In a shark's mouth A woman swimming under Her warm breath sending a thunder Onto parts south And love is stripped and frayed Duty is delayed Until next life Someone has my mind Holding it so kind It is my wife And my home is the sea My home is the sea Look not for me And my home is the sea Disaster flies upon me And I scream Now we can see the house lights Colored from a distance (For a party as a dream ?) And tumble into me My arms enfold thee sea 'Cause I'm a strong man And goodnight love, my tummy Is round and firm and funny And that's what I am And my home is the sea My home is the sea And I am under your spell And you will have me I reckon And the drowning this town Is a drowning I welcome I know nothing and I'm overjoyed I know nothing and I'm overjoyed I know nothing and I'm overjoyed God gave you life and thought Now it's ours to waste I have the finest love And the finest taste And with the sea air in my lungs I am home You are home
