[Verse 1] I'm an old boat made from trees And I'm sadly stuck ashore I used to sail the seven seas But I don't do that anymore Shipmates that I called brothers Abandoned this ship for some others They skipped like stones until they hit land And left me here where I began They skipped like stones until they hit land And left me here where I began, I began, I began [Chorus] Oh, so I sing this lonely sailing song Hoping for one more chance to sail along If you learn anything from this song Learn that the sea's where I belong [Verse 2] When I was new I' taste the breeze Until I could taste no more I'd come and go as I pleased As if the sea were an open door But now my bow is filled with water All I've left is two broken oars So I can see why no one would bother To push me off from this here shore They skipped like stones until they hit land And left me here where I began [Chorus] Oh, so I sing this lonely sailing song Hoping for one more chance to sail along So watch the water rise And fill my insides with the tides Like the stars that fill the sky And I'll find a spot where I can lie On the ocean floor [Bridge] Seize the sea, seize the seasons Raise the reasons like a flag Please, oh please, take me back Take me back to what I had Seize the sea, seize the seasons (I refuse to live my life) Raise the reasons like a flag (Like my former brothers) Please, oh please, take me back (I refuse to live my life) Take me back to what I had (Like a land-lover) Seize the sea, seize the seasons (I refuse to live my life) Raise the reasons like a flag (Like my former brothers) Please, oh please, take me back (I refuse to live my life) Take me back to what I had [Chorus] Oh, so I sing this lonely sailing song And hope for one more chance to sail Oh, so I sing this lonely sailing song Hoping for one more chance to sail along So watch the water rise And fill my insides with the tides Like the stars that fill the sky And I'll find a spot where I can lie On the ocean floor [Outro] If you learn anything from this song Learn that the sea's where I belong So break this bottle over my head I will not rest until I am dead
