Carry on inside of your heart
G D Bm C
Under the brine you won't notice the dark

Can stone and steel and horses heels

Ever explain the way you feel?

From Scapa Flow to Rotherhithe,

I felt the lapping of an ebbing tide
G D Bm C C
C D
Oh the heavy water how it enfolds
G Em
The salt, the spray, the gorgeous undertow

Always, always, always the sea

Brilliantine mortality

Always, always, always the sea
G Em
Brilliantine mortality

When this Corpus Christic isle became a land of ocean blue

Again, she cried, you turned my eye,
G Em
At mentions of, no matter why,
C D
And in the end, an August sun,
G Em
And one by one we blew
C D
Until the devil screamed in the evermore
G Em
In envy of the grace we saw
C D
Oh the heavy water how it enfolds
G Em
The salt, the spray, the gorgeous undertow
C D
Always, always, always the sea
G Em
Brilliantine mortality

Oh the heavy water how it enfolds

Always, always, always the sea
G Em
