salt sailors song gulls and terns spin in the air as waves lullaby the sleepy dreamers with grand tales and rich promise of paradise to be found just over the horizons edge sailors eye to the swift wind sure hand to tackle and line hearty men of salted liquid soil grown to giants in the breakwaters thunder but gentle that hands heart when the tolling bell calls out the names of the lost and the sea has swept away all but her witnessed tale to leave the widows and forlorn child to carve name to wall and mourn past midnight now a dead calm and cloudless sky reigns with a majesty of brilliant starlight upon this sea reflecting the heavens slow march i lay like a supplicant muted by the spectacle to souls hunger this moment and place shows a deeper meaning to thouse souls with eyes to see a dead calm and cloudless sky reigns with a majesty of brilliant starlight the old salt sailor breaks into deep song that sooths and lends hardy meal to the heart hold fast young lad hold fast the morning rushing forward brings the breaking wave and unfolds sail with quick wind and the sailors eye rejoices with merry songs to measure the hour and jauntily bring our fair seabird back to her warm home sea and sand in the salt sailors blood and a kind heart guides the way
