lyrics

stolen from home , lost in the night
taken by re to hasten their flight
And the rattle and creak of boards ‘neath their feet,
buried the scars underneath

but the sea is wide, they cannot forego it
and long, long is the tide that has taken thee

so sing them a boat song to carry them over
sing them a boat song, return them unbroken

pray keep them safe, let them be unafraid
for dark are the hearts that take them to their graves
lost souls in the tide, they turn to the shore
where wringing of hands plead for deliverance

and the sea is wide, they cannot forgo it
and long, long is the tide....
that has taken thee....taken thee

so sing me a boat song, to carry me over
...who will replace this sailor boy when he goes?
his love still watches the tide for his return oh,
for his return oh
