lyrics

I’ve been sailing for so many years
At the mercy of the sea
So pleased to light on these shores
So strange to find you here
Isn’t it so very unusual?
These battles that we fight
Dying half a world away
From my bridge it don’t seem right

But we roll roll roll roll with the waves
Yes we roll roll roll for the rest of our days

We are both commanders of science
Seafaring naturalists
Twisting away through uncharted waters
Through channels of time do we drift
The animals and plants we collect
Lie still in the hold
We wonder at their strange eerie beauty
And the stories that we stole

But we roll roll roll roll with the waves
Yes we roll roll roll for the rest of our days

And her memory is clear to me now
All through the spray and the mist of time
I know I’ll never see her again
But that’s the life of a sailing man

And we roll roll roll roll with the waves
Yes we roll roll roll for the rest of our days

Only you and I really know
The power of these waves
The beauty of the dark horizon
The majesty of sail
Enduring all the anguished cries
Of this strange wary coast
We might be the most bitter of enemies
But the devil takes us both

And we roll roll roll roll with the waves
Yes we roll roll roll for the rest of our days
Yes we roll roll roll roll with the waves
Yes we roll roll roll for the rest of our days
