the ballad of the sailing men lost throughout the years

back to music page

----
i will be worn with the western wind that blows unto my ears
the stories of the sailing men lost throughout the years
and all the wives and families that lost so many tears
for the hundereds of sailing men lost throughout the years

and if I should sail the western waves looking for my feed
i'll sing a song to the sailing men lost throughout the years
for all the fish lying in the sea could never fill the need
of the hundereds of sailing men lost throughout the years

so we'll sing a prayer before we sleep and pray the gods be near
the hundereds of sailing men, with dawn we'll hold them dear
may the waters be clear as glass and may the night know them no fear
may they be carried home by the sailing men lost throught the years

i will be worn with the western wind that blows unto my ears
the stories of the sailing men lost throughout the years
and all the wives and families that lost so many tears
for the hundereds of sailing men lost throughout the years
