I Give Myself To The Sea
It's a song from WISH ME LUCK - You'll have to wait till it drops to hear it on the beat though.
[Verse 1]
He's alone on his boat on the violent sea,
He tries to be calm but the icy breeze
Bites at his old weathered face, he knows
That his days are almost up but he takes it slow.
He paces the deck as the clouds begin to swarm,
His brittle old fingers found his chin and swore
That if things come to pass like he reckons they would
He'd make sure they'd never find the wreck of his goods.
Then the deck as it shook, it knocked him back,
But he kept his balance to give it his all at last.
When he saw the mast flap crazy and clap
Rain pouring, he thought his hands had maybe his last
Duty to do, but as they usually do
He remained stead-fast and stayed true to his roots.
He loved the ocean, it's surrounding him quick
He tightens his grip, he's going down with his ship.
[Hook]
He said, "I give myself to the sea
May the calm blue waters help me to be free"
He said, "Let the waves here swallow me up,
Being calm is enough, I'll let God be the judge." (x2)
[Verse 2]
The storm is going wild, he can barely see in front of him,
He's laughing at the sky, he just can't get enough of it.
The rain it hits his face, but not a care on the globe,
He wants the sea to eat him up and carry him home.
The truth begins to dawn on him, he's very alone,
It sobers him up and rings a serious tone.
He looks upon his vessel as the rain begins to pool,
Weather turns more icy and his face just isn't cool.
There's wrinkles on his face - aging is so cruel,
And the waves he thought were friends now are waving at the fool.
His face is full of sorrow, he recalls upon his life
The waves push him up and down, he's falling through it nice.
The ocean doesn't care if all you do is right,
And without a second thought it will swallow you tonight.
He feels the deck beneath his feet begin to slide forward,
He takes a deep breath of the sea and his eye's close.
[Hook]

Nothing like a whimsical tale about committing suicide.

Thanks!!
I'm so fucking happy with how the audio song came out. Captures the story I had for this perfectly.
