Lyrics: "Sea-Fever," John Masefield

lyrics

Sea Fever
(Lyrics: "Sea-Fever," John Masefield)

I must go down to the sea again
the lonely sea and the sky
and all I ask is a tall ship
and a star to steer her by
a star to steer her by.

and the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song
and all the white sails shaking
and a grey mist on the sea’s face
and a grey dawn breaking
grey dawn breaking.

I must go down, I must go down,
for the call of the running tide,
it’s a wild call and a clear call
and it can’t be denied

and all I ask is a windy day
with all the white clouds flying
and the flung spray and blowing foam
and the sea gulls crying
all of the sea gulls crying.

I must go down, I must go down,
to the vagrant gypsy life,
to the gulls’ way and the whale’s way
where the wind’s like a whetted knife

and all I ask is a merry yarn
from a laughing fellow-rover
and a quiet sleep and a sweet dream
when the long trick is over
when the long trick is over.
