[Verse 1]
Oh, CI bid farewell to the Fport and the Cland
And I Cpaddle away from Brave GEngland's white sands
To Csearch for my long-ago Fforgotten Cfriends
To Csearch for the place I hear Gall sailors Cend
[Chorus 1]
As the Fsouls of the dead fill the space of my Cmind
I'll Csearch without sleeping 'til Gpeace I can find
I Ffear not the weather, I Cfear not the sea
I reCmember the fallen... do Gthey think of me?
When their Fbones in the ocean, forGever will Cbe
[Verse 2]
Plot a Ccourse to the night, to a Fplace I once Cknew
To a Cplace where my hope died aGlong with my crew
So I Cswallow my grief and face Flife's final Ctest
T' find Cpromise of peace and the Gsolace of Crest
[Chorus 2]
As the Fsouls of the dead fill the space of my Cears
Their Claughter like children, their Gbeckoning cheers
My Fheart longs to join them, sing Csongs of the sea
I reCmember the fallen... do Gthey think of me?
When their Fbones in the ocean, forGever will Cbe
[Verse 3]
When at Clast, before my ghostly Fshipmates I Cstand
I Cshed a small tear for my Ghome upon land
Though their Ceyes speak of deaths filled with Fstruggle and Cstrife
Their Csmiles below say I don't Gowe them my Clife
[Chorus 3]
As the Fsouls of the dead fill the space of my Ceyes
And my Cboat listed over and Gtried to capsize
I'm Fthis far from drowning, this Cfar from the sea
I reCmember the living... do Gthey think of me?
When my Fbones in the ocean, Gforever will Cbe
[Bridge]
Now that CI'm staring down at the Fdarkest aCbyss
I'm not Csure what I want, but I Gdon't think it's this
As Cmy comrades call to stand Ffast and forge Con...
I make Csail for the dawn until the Gdarkness has Cgone
[Chorus 4]
As the Fsouls of the dead live fore'er in my Cmind
As I Clive all the years that they Gleft me behind
I'll Fstay on the shore but still Cgaze at the sea
I reCmember the fallen and Gthey think of me
For our Fsouls in the ocean, Gtogether will Cbe
Ending
I reCmember the fallen and Gthey think of me...
For our Fsouls in the ocean, Gtogether will Cbe
