The Grey Funnel Line

I don't mind the wind or the rolling sea The weary nights never worry me But the hardest time in a sailor's day Is to watch the sun as it dies away The finest ship that sailed the sea Is but a prison for the likes of me But give me wings like Noah's dove And I'll sail away to the girl I love O once my heart was wild and free Like a flashing spar on the open sea But now that spar has washed ashore And come to rest at my true love's door And oh my god if dreams were real I'd have my hands on the wooden wheel And with all my heart I'd turn around And tell the boys we were homeward bound But here's one more day on The Grey Funnel Line I'd pass the time like some machine Until the waters turn to green And dance on down that walk ashore And sail The Grey Funnel Line no more But here's one more day on The Grey Funnel Line
