lyrics

Strangely calm on an ocean black
Frozen sails are hanging slack
Deck half covered in ice and snow
Sudden gale begins to blow

Billowing sails are the only view
Left hanging by a lazy crew
Unfurled they will see us drown
Six ton o’ pine comes crashing down

Sailor lad, your days are done
You’re never gonna see an other rising sun
Brave or craven, fool or wise
Water and rock are gonna have your lives!

With a rudder no use and listing fast
Axes topple the second mast
Ink black water in the hold
Five lost in the icy cold

Top mast snaps and breaks apart
Ice inside our beating hearts
Canvas sail is ripped to shreds
Hope fades, panic spreads

Sailor lad, your days are done…

Flinty rocks are looming high
Grey beneath the midnight sky
Battered ship is cleft in half
Men leap from the ensign staff

Hundreds in the roaring waves
Most sink to a watery grave
Some few reach the rocky wall
Away from death begin to crawl

Sailor lad, your days are done…

From above fall hempen rope
Tears of joy and tears of hope
Eighty-eight are helped to flee
Eight score lost to the raging sea
