the sea calls

the sea calls

out to an old hand

to go sailing to new lands

they pay for your worth

bread drink and a berth.ah honey i've got to go

the ship took the crew off to new lands

the boson piped all hands

and with it you'll go

a journey to the unknown.ah honey i've got to go

the road bends

back to where we sent

the signals out to the men

did they make it on board

with fire and the sword?

ah honey i've got to go

can you hear the winds blow?

it shakes your spirit and your soul

i've tried

to stay true and stay on land

but the call of the ocean

is so hard to ignore

it's why i'm leaving your door.ah honey

i've got to go

i've seen

a ship with a black sail

when the wind howls and the ghosts wail

dead men they don't bite

their faces haunt me at night

ah honey i've got to go

can you hear the waves roar?

and no sound of the shore

it shakes you spirit and your soul

i dream of sailing the oceans

in a galleon all golden

dead trees in the hearth

the way they burn it warms the heart.ah honey i've got to go

the years passed

we travelled and sailed west

i'll buy you a new dress

with all of my gold

free your spirit and your soul

ah honey

i've got to go

can you hear the winds blow?

shakes your spirit and your soul

i've got to go.
