Lyrics

[Verse 1] Thirteen nights to shore That's what I bargained for Six months gone a hired hand Roll over the snow and ice Every day is a roll of the dice Dreamin' of hot, white sand [Pre-Chorus] Lord, if I'd only known how cold and lonely The sea could be without company, I'd say [Chorus] So long to my ocean home So long to my dear sea, I'm going home Wash my face in the salty water I've got a date with the captain's daughter [Verse 2] Card game in the captain's shack Bet my watch, got it back And an old swingin' picture on a nail Her name was Annebel I knew I would walk through Hell To see that face when we dropped sail [Pre-Chorus] Lord, if I'd only known how cold and lonely The sea could be without company, I'd say [Chorus] So long to my ocean home So long to my dear sea, I'm going home Wash my face in the salty water I've got a date with the captain's daughter [Verse 3] We heard the thunder clap As the night came on pitch black I tried to yell through the howlin' wind The last thing I knew was the icy cold As that briny wave swallowed me whole [Pre-Chorus] Lord, if I'd only known how cold and lonely The sea could be without company, I'd say [Chorus] So long to my ocean home So long to my dear sea, I'm going home Wash my face in the salty water I've got a date with the captain's daughter
