From the recording The Truth is Where it's Always Been
Lyrics
Once there was a time
When my heart was yours
And your heart was mine
Days drift in the wind
Clouds scrape the skies
I wait by the sea tide
Held by your sweet eyes
You said goodbye
The ships are a-sailing
Four years have gone by
Your baby's sweet sighs
And you've never heard them
When will you come home?
'Cause I'm cold, cold as a stone
Our life is salt, blue and bone
Sing sailor's lullaby
Sing sailor's lullaby
Sure lover the sea
She took you from me
And left me her tempest
And from the boys around town
My wedding gown
I hide from their long gaze
When will you come home?
'Cause I'm cold, cold as a stone
And my life is salt, blue and bone
Sing sailor's lullaby
Sing sailor's lullaby
Left hiding away
The sun turns to gray
Wind blows open the door
There's nothing but rain
Once there was a man who stood tall in the rigging
Once the sun shone strong in his smile
Now I whisper sweet soft and low to our daughter
Sing sailor's lullaby.
