Never was a Navy brat
But my father was, yeah
He warned me not to make
Friends with weather

My love rests in a shipwreck
With a compass in his hand
I wait for him
Like vultures wait for bodies

Send the wind down
I hear his voice now
At the bottom of the blue
I'll get my coat, it'll be
The second coming outside
When I return with you

I'm a ship like you
One sail, one sea, you and me
And I left my soul next to the shore
One sail, one sea

Wait with my face in sun
That makes me look less young
I miss your half Irish grin
And our love is growing upside down
They say, you'll never make it home
But I will wait home won't bury your clothes

Send the wind down
And bring him back now
Because he is to me my life

I'm a ship like you
One sail, one sea, you and me
And I left my soul next to the shore
One sail, one sea

I'm a ship like you
One sail, one sea, you and me
And left I my soul next to the shore
One sail, one sea

Think about sinking down
Think about all of it
Think his face drowning out
I think of it all, think of it all, yeah

Think about sinking down
Think about all of it
Think his face drowning out
I think of it all, think of it all
I think of it all

I'm a ship like you
One sail, one sea, you and me
And I left my soul next to the shore
One sail

I'm a ship like you
One sail, one sea, you and me
And left I my soul next to the shore
One sail, one sea
One sail, one sea
One sail, one sea
