What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
the first light's kissed my eyes--it's time to breathe
2
the shearing wind that strips the flesh from me
3
so grab your weathered skins and boots and go
4
is it the hell i fear or is it the sea?
5
the working world's asleep an hour or more
6
the barmen from the anchor calls the score
7
Jock sings the sea-song, chills me to the score
8
drink up as it's time to lock the door
9
well, fifteen years have passed, i'm still aboard
10
ow i brave the chaos of my family
11
and all i think of is a world ashore
12
is it life i abhor? is it the sea?
13
well, the pain is dulling out a generation by
14
and music fills my bones again, at last
15
and pride inflates my chest and the tears come to my eyes
16
to hear my children's children cry
17
and i have often said
18
that i would like to be dead
19
in a shark's mouth
20
with warm breath going under
21
from woman sending thunder
22
on two parts south
23
and love is stripped and frayed
24
and duty is delayed
25
until next life
26
and someone has my mind
27
holding it so kind
28
though it is my wife
29
and my home is the sea
30
my home is the sea
31
look not for me
32
because my home is the sea
33
disaster flies upon me
34
and i scream
35
and you can see the house lights
36
colored from the distance
37
for a party is dream
38
and tumble into me
39
my arms unfold these seeds
40
cause i am a strong man
41
and god i love my tummy
42
it's round and firm and funny
43
cause that's what i am
44
and my home is the sea
45
my home is the sea
46
and i am under your spell
47
you will have me i reckon
48
and the drowning of this town
49
is a drowning that i welcome
50
and i know nothing and am overjoyed
51
i know nothing and am overjoyed
52
i know nothing and am overjoyed
53
well, god gave you life and thought
54
and now it's ours to waste
55
i have the finest love
56
and the finest of tastes
57
and with the sea in my lungs
58
i am home
