lyrics

Our time on Earth is like sailing on the open water
A struggle to survive
But, just as stormy seas subside in time to become still and quiet
So is true of life.
With heavy hearts we say “Goodbye.”
We stop to pray for that old salt today, and make sure he’s shipped off in a proper way
And if the man is only half as grand as he would boast, then heavens gonna need itself a bigger boat.
He was lost at sea and drug down to the deep in the belly of a devilish monstrosity
And may god curse that beast in its entirety, the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.
Our time on Earth is like sailing on the open water, a struggle to survive.
But, just as stormy seas subside in time to become still and quiet, so is true of life.
With heavy hearts we say “Goodbye.”
Well, I know he’ll be missed by you and me, but I’m sure he would tell you that none will grieve
With more sorrow or more woefully than those Spanish ladies of which he’s sing.
I hope St. Peter greeted you an hour before the devil even knew your time had come.
Well, way hey and blow the man down.
May you find your way to Fiddlers Green. We raise our glass to you and sing;
Oh Show me the way to go home.
I’m tired and I want to go to bed.
I had a little drink about an hour ago and it went straight to my head. Wherever I may roam, over land or sea or foam
You can always hear me singing this song.
Oh show me the way to go home.
Oh show me the way to go home.
Our time on Earth is like sailing on the open water, a struggle to survive.
But, just as stormy seas subside in time to become still and quiet, so is true of life.
With heavy hearts we say “Goodbye.”
