As the moon rises over the sea
the lights of a tavern, they're calling to me
and I, I've bided my time
I've wasted most of my life
now my heart's growing cold
[Chorus]
Oh but the sea, she's calling to me
her rolling waves, the seagulls call
I may be long in my years but I'm short on my sea-legs
I may be long in my years, but I'm short on my sea-legs sir.
[Chorus]
And all, all along coastlines
all upon cliff-sides, my love she is clawing
and I, I cannot rendez-vous avec tu
je peux accompany you just as far as the break
As I walk along the beach at night
the gulls they cry out my name
so I climb the highest peak I can find
as I stride, one foot in front of the other, I climb
till I'm looking into the eyes of my love
and I throw myself onto my knees
genuflect and reflect on my life
as I throw myself to the breeze
now I'm free, I'm free to become one with the sea
can't you see I'm finally free
I'm finally, finally free
yes I'm free, I'm free to become one with the sea
can't you see, I'm finally free
I'm finally, finally free
