Kate Rusby - The Sleepless Sailor lyrics

I once was a sailor, a young man and brave Da da dum, da da dum dee My nights were once sleepless, My peace I would crave Carry me home to the sea Da da dum day, da da dum dee Drift away sailor boys on the deep sea Worry no more for you're safe now with me Rest in my arms and my sweet melody One night as I'm stood on the deck in the rain Da da dum, da da dum dee I heard a sweet voice and she's singing my name Carry me back to the sea Chorus Oh rock me so gently now ocean so deep Da da dum, da da dum dee I wish I was back, cause I think I can't sleep Carry me home to the sea Chorus
