Sailor's Request Lyrics

by Neal Casal

Chorus:
Darling, will you let me in
It could be my last time through again
You know me
And you know dry land
The ocean you don't understand
Well, sometimes I wish you'd get to me
Faster than the ones that I can't see
Beyond my dreams
Back to the sea
Sometimes I wish we're talking free
(Chorus)
We think you can save me
And I'm glad you tried
But I'll be gone by tomorrow night
Feed me water, wine and bread
And find a place to lay my head
Before the morning if I die
Take my bones from where they lie
Put me on a train
Before it hurts
And you can keep my favorite shirt

(Chorus)
Well, take me to the edge of god's green earth
Meet me there for what I was worth
My soul will kick and switchin' off
Check this cough and of it's bluff
Where I rest in the cradle of the deep blue sea
But she's the only one for me
(Chorus)
The ocean you don't understand (*2)
The ocean you can't understand
The ocean you don't understand
