They’ll love her till they die
Verse
Seen butterflies against the skies
Seen ships with painted sails.
Heard sailors story over rum
Fantastic fairy tales.
Pre chorus
Those waves so deep, so dark, so blue.
Calling out to you.
Chorus
The ocean she’s their mistress.
She steals them from their wives.
She promises adventure.
She captivates their minds.
The ocean she’s their mistress.
They’ll love her till they die.
Verse
Seen sailors gather on the docks.
Seen men kiss wives goodbye.
Heard women crying please don’t go.
Sailed out to a red sky.
Pre chorus
Those waves so deep, so dark, so blue.
They captivate, they call to you.
Chorus
The ocean she’s their mistress.
She steals them from their wives.
She promises adventure.
She captivates their minds.
The ocean she’s their mistress.
They’ll love her till they die.
Verse
Seen serpentine tattoos on arms
Seen men with wooden legs.
Heard sailors story over rum
Of what lies past the edge.
Bridge
What’s true and what is fiction?
What draws men to the sea?
Is it for wild adventure?
Or reason just to leave?
Pre chorus
Those waves so deep, so dark, so blue.
They captivate, they call to you.
Chorus
The ocean she’s their mistress.
She steals them from their wives.
She promises adventure.
She captivates their minds.
The ocean she’s their mistress.
They’ll love her till they die.
