The Waters run deep Lyrics

I sat down
By the ocean
And the rolling sea
I sat down
In the sunshine
With a bottle of wine
Then I heard
A magic sound
Echoing around
All the sailors
Were a-singing
Every now and then:
"The Waters Run Deep
The sea runs high!"

Ship in sight
Way out east
Rocking all along
With a thousand
Men at least
Joining in the song:
"The Waters Runs Deep
The sea runs high
But we'll all be free
The day we die!"
"Somewhere on the sea
We all shall die
Yes, we'll all be free
The day we die!"
Now the ship
Sailed away
Had no time to stay

But I heard
The same old song
Every now and then:
"The Waters Run Deep
The sea runs high
But we'll all be free
The day we die!"
