Toiler on the sea

I had a woman ship,

I took her overseas,

She left her hold unlocked,

I had to find a dock.

I was a toiler on the sea,

I was a toiler on the sea,

I was a toiler on the sea,

I was a toiler on the sea.

We didn't use cruel words

To navigate cruel seas,

The wind was biting hard,

At times I had to scream.

I was a toiler on the sea,

I was a toiler on the sea,

I was a toiler on the sea,

I was a toiler on the sea.

And when we reached the land

We went aground on the rocks,

Became a wreck in the sand,

Became a home for a flock.

We ventured overland,

Fought with the aliens,

The young ones used their hands,

Pointed the way to a flock,

A flock of seagulls!

A flock of seagulls!

Then we retraced our steps,

Rebuilt the woman ship.

I took her back up north,

I lost her in the fog.

I was a toiler on the sea,

I was a toiler on the sea,

I was a toiler on the sea,

I was a toiler on the sea,

I was a toiler,

I was a toiler,

I was a toiler on the sea,

On the sea,

I was a toiler,

I was a toiler on the sea

I was a toiler,

A toiler,

A toiler.
