A Salty Dog Lyrics by Sarah Brightman

A Salty Dog Lyrics

    All hands on deck
    We've run afloat
    I heard the captain cry
    Explore the ship
    Replace the cook
    Let no one leave alive
    Across the straits
    Around the horn
    How far can sailors fly
    A twisted path
    Our tortured course
    And no one left alive

    We sailed for parts
    Unknown to man
    Where ships come home to die
    No lofty peak
    Nor fortress hold
    Could match our captain's eye

    Upon the seventh sea sick day
    We made our port of call
    A sand so white
    And seas so blue
    No mortal place at all

    We fired the gun
    And burned the mast
    And rowed from ship to shore
    The captain cried
    We sailors wept
    Our tears were tears of joy
    How many moons
    And many junes
    Have passed since we made land
    A salty dog
    The seaman's log
    Your witness, my own hand
