[ti: Sky And Water]
[length: 04:31]
[00:18.90]There’s only sky and water
[00:23.49]As far as we can see
[00:27.13]You came in a dream last night
[00:29.70]Dear heart, you spoke to me
[00:34.66]There’s only sky and water
[00:39.59]And never so alone
[00:42.77]When we cut the captain loose
[00:45.89]We cut all ties with home
[00:47.84]Lord, we cut all ties with home
[00:53.30]We let the tyrant drift away
[00:58.31]In one of his own boats
[01:01.69]I don’t know why I stopped the hands
[01:04.42]From going for his throat
[01:09.42]Every man did curse the day
[01:13.81]He signed up for the trip
[01:17.13]Every man did know this was no way to run a ship
[01:22.45]Lord, no way to run a ship
[01:28.72]
[02:02.40]Good riddance to his bitter soul
[02:07.22]And now we have the brig
[02:10.43]It sure will not be sailing home to dance the Hempen jig
[02:18.26]There’s only sky and water
[02:23.22]We sleep and dream of land
[02:26.06]But free of chains of iron and the captain’s iron hand
[02:31.80]Lord, the captain’s iron hand
[02:42.98]
[03:11.59]He lashed me to a grating
[03:15.95]For the nine claws of the cat
[03:19.88]Now I have a fever, but I give no thought to that
[03:26.89]I am high over the water
[03:32.25]I sleep and dream of land
[03:35.64]Free of chains of iron and the captain’s iron hand
[03:40.74]Lord, the captain’s iron hand
[03:45.24]Yeah
[03:48.65]
[04:09.14]Yeah
