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.
