about

Inspired by traditional songs of the sea, this is a song about a group of sailors lost hopelessly in the swell of a storm. As the ship begins to founder a light appears in the West and the sailors shout their defiance against death, in the hope that in reaching for the light they will be saved.

lyrics

We were three days out upon the ocean
When the wind began to groan
Climb the top mast young sailor
Can you point our vessel home?

‘I’ll go, I’ll go my captain dearie
But can you hear somebody sing
Sounds like voices cloaked and weary
Breaking hard against the wind

No shore! No shore!
No shore beneath my feet
No shore! No shore!
We’re lost at sea

Water rolling round my knees
Hang on boys I’ll steer us East
Look to the moon all bloody to sea
There’s something neath the waves and it needs to feast

Hang on boys there’s a light to the West
If we pull a little harder, we’ll make it I bet
Do you wanna die or just get a little wet
The song you’re hearing is the best one yet

So, heave and ho!
Heave your heart like a stone
Heave and ho
Or watch it go down below

There’s a light on the horizon
And it glows, it grows
So, I row my boat
I row my boat
I’ll row this boat.
