Down all along the gale
where all these barks do sail
The sun was setting in the west
I took an eastbound trip
on a vacant sailing ship
And when I reached I can′t take no rest
[chorus:]
Tunes of silence everywhere I make my way,
tales of never ending days
I won′t return these days,
won′t be back for many a day
My heart is down to make my way
The sailor′s life is hard but free,
his home is on the rolling sea
And soon across the waters clear
Never heart more true or brave
than he who launches on the wave
This gallant ship shall bravely steer
[chorus]
