Oh Sea, oh sea,oh endless sea
Da-dum -dilly-dum dilly-dum-dilly-dee
You push and pull and cradle me
In a walnut shell with mast tall as a tree
Your salty teeth and the stormy rain
Bite slowly my anchor's rust-worn chain
Old sands bury the anchor strong and deep
The tall seas can't yet steal away its keep
All:
No,no,the old anchor holds its keep
Oh Sea, oh sea,oh endless sea
Da-dum -dilly-dum- dilly-dum-dilly-dee
The dock's green rocks and old rotten wood,
Rope ends hang loose from poles that should
Hold sails and nets and strength and might
But shake and shriek when touched by the tide.
Was strong this chain that long stopped my run
But soon it too will shriek undone.
All:
The old, old chain will be undone
Oh Sea, oh sea,oh endless sea
Da-dum -dilly- dum--dilly- dum dilly-dee
Undone by your waves, the ship will be free
You'll sway the ship that cradles me
Oh,sway it far and seal it swift
Another lost ship that went adrift
I'll sleep in your cradle of salt and bone
A grave to souls that claim no home
The waves will sing and wash away
All traces that I'd return one day
All:
No,no, I won't return one day
Oh Sea, oh sea,oh endless sea
Da-dum -dilly-dum dilly-dum -dilly-dee
Ye break this chain that here binds me
My anchor of pain forsaken be
Time's rust and your waves will set me free
Of the planks and chains that harbor me
In the wrecked ship's womb I wait patiently
For dead I am and long dead is she
My stranded ship with mast tall as a tree.
All:
My stranded ship with mast tall as a tree...
(maybe from the songbook received by Naergon from Calie, given to her by a friend in her past, but a song about fate, death and diminishing into the forever peace and freedom that awaits every existing thing,and also a song fit for the memory of another lost friend, not forgotten)
