They stood too long in their goodbyes
Tears in their eyes
Promises of family life
Husband and wife
And he sailed away, he sailed away
And he sailed away, he sailed away
All the fires, all the oceans
Like the darkness down below
Hear the warning and by morning
You'll be sailing safely home
(You'll be sailing safely home)
Voices came from under the waves
In the sea caves
Calling to him down in the deep
Where sirens sleep
And they dragged him down
And they dragged him down
All the fires, all the oceans
Like the darkness down below
Hear the warning and by morning
You'll be sailing safely home
Sailing, you'll be sailing safely home
Sailing, you'll be sailing safely home
She stood too long
Years passing by
Tears in her eyes
