sail of the decades - universal sailor كلمات أغنية

i am a polynesian rower, a fisherman by my breed
a boatswain, strange fruit in the rigging, with my hankering to feed

i come from gloucester and from the bay of biscay
i was raised in the south sea’s breeze
a whaler from nantucket, enlisting to fill my lungs with ease

my vessels bear a longing for saltw_ter
from seawater’s womb i was born
my waterborne vessel i call my home
a devoir for the sea i have sworn

a greaser, an oiler and a freighter i am by my trade
a yachtsman, a racer and navigator by my fame
even though i am as old as human society
society constricts me
even though i sing about the love at land
i feel better when i’m on the sea

i am the universal sailor
i am a maritime man
i can climb up to the tallest mast
and shout my determination steadfast

my arc of visibility contains no obstacles
nothing i could run into
i cannot fathom the depth of the water
so i rely on what i think i know
try to go full and by
and keep at least my head above the board
i’ll stay in the now and ask not why
afloat but not adrift to keep out of the low
it seems seamless laplace’s demon knows
that if i’m careless it shows
derelict quality on the devil seam and i’ll have the devil to pay ancient marine customs make a good servant
as pedant as they may feel
bit by bit and all over again
that’s how i make my bed where i lay

i am the universal sailor
i am a maritime man
i can climb up to the tallest mast
and shout my determination steadfast

i am the abstract seafarer
my soul is lost a thousand time
to the ocean my memorial is a mast
for on the open sea my funerals are massed

- sail of the decades
