I watch the shores as the hands wave goodbye
I look above at painted clouds in the sky
I hope to walk the ground again before I die
But I swear to God I've never felt so alive
There come a time when every man must meet his fate
Sometimes the sea will give sometimes the sea will take
So if by chance I get lost in the waves
Don't shed no tears cause I'm at peace where I lay
In a watery grave
I closed my eyes the other night I had a dream
I saw a man sinking down who looked like me
It seemed to me he had a smile on his face
It seemed to me that he was happy in this place
Crashing waves woke me up from my sleep
Couldn't believe they must've been least thirty feet
Can't help to wonder if today is that day
I see the faces of the men who've gone away
To the watery grave
I lived a life that normal men will never know
I rolled the dice with my life on this boat
Where did it go? Why did the time float away?
Now I'm at home, I'm at peace where I lay
In a watery grave
