Pirate Shanties - Leave Me Bones to the Sea

Pirate Shanties Playlist:    • Pirate Shanties   Lyrics I've sailed beneath a thousand stars, I've crossed a thousand miles, I've buried friends in foreign lands And worn a thousand smiles. I've tasted gold and tasted blood, I've loved and lost my share, But now the wind grows cold, me boys, And salt is in my hair. Leave me bones to the sea, me lads, Let the waves carry me, No church bell toll, no marble stone, Just the wind and the ocean alone. When the gulls cry over me, Let them sing my memory, For the sea was all I've ever known… And the sea shall take me home. I once had a woman waiting By a cottage near the bay, She kept a candle in the window For each night I stayed away. But the sea has no forgiveness, And a sailor has no chain, I left her with the summer And returned to find the rain. Leave me bones to the sea, me lads, Let the waves carry me, No church bell toll, no marble stone, Just the wind and the ocean alone. When the gulls cry over me, Let them sing my memory, For the sea was all I've ever known… And the sea shall take me home. Don't carve my name in silver, Don't raise a flag for me, Just pour a little rum tonight And cast it to the sea. And if you hear my laughter When the midnight waters foam, Then raise your glass, my brothers… For I've finally made it home. The sails are torn, the mast is bent, The stars are growing dim, And all the roads I've ever sailed Now lead me back to Him. So let the anchor tumble, lads, Let the last rope run, I've had my share of moonlit seas, And my share of morning sun. Leave me bones to the sea, me lads, Let the waves carry me, No church bell toll, no marble stone, Just the wind and the ocean alone. When the gulls cry over me, Let them sing my memory, For the sea was all I've ever known… And the sea shall take me home. The sea was all I've ever known… Now the sea shall take me home. #shanties #piratesong #pirateshanties #folk #CozyRealmSounds #CozyRealm #RelaxingSounds #RelaxingMusic #AmbientMusic #StudyMusic #StressRelief #TheCozyRealmSounds
