So Long Sailor Video (MV)

Never in his life had he
Loved anyone more than she
She's what he believes in

He sailed four of the seven seas
And loved free before the seventies
But she was hook, line, and sinker

But to support a family
He needed money so desperately
So he went to that livelihood he knew

She begged and pleaded please just stay with me
You're only safe with ground beneath your feet
And I, I never want to cry

So long sailor you meant everything to me
Hear my whisper across the sea
You're in that place you're in that space
Where there is no escape
A watery grave without a face
Just lowly tears that fall for grace

Oh ooh woah-oh
Oh woah-oh oh
Oh ooh woah-oh
Oh ooh oh oh

Attempting to give some relief
He left a kiss lying on her cheek
As she, she let go of his hand

The second week of his voyaging
He got a letter to his family's street
And he, he signed his name with the words
I'm your sailor and you mean everything to me
I hear your whisper across the sea
You're in my heart you're in my soul
You're my red fire when I am cold
I'll make it home, through and through
With the rewards I promised you

Oh ooh woah-oh
Oh woah-oh oh
Oh ooh woah-oh
Oh ooh oh oh

Then years went by without a single word
A worried mother fearing for the worst
That he was lost at sea

The funeral was on a grey evening
A black coffin without a man's body
And she looked to the waves and said

So long sailor you meant everything to me
Hear my whisper across the sea
You're in that place you're in that space
Where there is no escape
You're in my heart, you're in my soul
You're in the tears screaming down my face

Oh ooh woah-oh
Oh woah-oh oh
Oh ooh woah-oh
Oh ooh oh oh
