| Lyrics: | SEA FEVER
I must go down to the seas again,
To the lonely sea and
sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship
And a star to steer her by,
And the wheel click
(kick)
And the wind's song
And the white sails a-shakin'
The gray mist on the sea's
face
The gray dawn a-breakin'.
I must go down to the seas again,
For the call
of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call
That may not be denied;
And all I
ask is a windy day
With the white clouds a-flyin',
The flung spray
And the blown
spume
And the sea gulls a-cryin'.
I must go down to the seas again
And the
vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way
Where the wind's like a whetted
knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn
From a laughing fellow rover,
And a quiet
sleep
And a sweet dream
When the long trick is over.
Words from a poem by
John Masefield, music by Andy Taylor.
