Song of the Sea Lyrics
Picture of me
On your colour tv
Bet he's holding the home
Skins a-salty with the breeze
Gotta look
When you open those books
I dream of the sea
Big Ships is meant for…
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
It's there swinging from my family tree
Starting to breathe so heavily
Grandpa telling me of his days in the navy
I was alive for a moment you see
He was there when I woke
He was there when I woke
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
It's there swinging from my family tree
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
Grandpa Albert had it made for me
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
We pass it by so passively
And all that's said is what we know
We’ll watch it come
We'll watch it go
And underneath
Its plain to see
That we're not meant for history
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
It's there swinging from my family tree
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
Grandpa Albert had it made for me
On your colour tv
Bet he's holding the home
Skins a-salty with the breeze
Gotta look
When you open those books
I dream of the sea
Big Ships is meant for…
It's there swinging from my family tree
Starting to breathe so heavily
Grandpa telling me of his days in the navy
I was alive for a moment you see
He was there when I woke
He was there when I woke
It's there swinging from my family tree
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
Grandpa Albert had it made for me
We pass it by so passively
And all that's said is what we know
We’ll watch it come
We'll watch it go
And underneath
Its plain to see
That we're not meant for history
It's there swinging from my family tree
Maybe I'm meant for the sea
Grandpa Albert had it made for me

i love this song- my great grandad is called albert and both he and my grandad were in the navy.. etc etc.
oh and i think its holding the helm not home.
This is my favorite song on the album. I think it's about not knowing where you're going with your life and feeling like a failure just like the rest of your family, and just saying "fuck it, I'll just be a sailor like grandpa."
