I caught sight off the port side with my hawk eyes
Weigh anchor some distance from where the shore lies
White-tipped waves I thought might make us capsize
I dove in and tried to swim right down to where sea floor lies
Wind is wailing
I feel myself ailing
Limbs are soon failing
Water inhaling
I feel my arms flailing
Wish it was smooth sailing
Wish it was smooth sailing
Wish it was smooth sailing
Wish it was smooth sailing
Wish it was smooth
The night is getting on and I wish you were right here
The thunder and lightning sounds and looks so clear
The sky will cry enough for the two of us so I won't shed no tear
Why were we silent before the storm I thought I knew no fear
Wind is wailing
I feel myself ailing
Limbs are soon failing
Water inhaling
I feel my arms flailing
Wish it was smooth sailing
Wish it was smooth sailing
Wish it was smooth sailing
Wish it was smooth sailing
Wish it was smooth
