| Oh sea legs please don't fail me now | |
| I pray lord please help me right | |
| This ship today | |
| Cause I can't take much more | |
| Of this strain on my battered hull. | |
| I thought | |
| I was tough | |
| I thought | |
| I was strong | |
| Thought I could handle anyone who came along | |
| Thought the worth of a boatin how well it floats | |
| And this old boat won't float for long with all these holes | |
| So I grab both sides with iron will | |
| It's fit for war but weighs too much and starts to fill | |
| Now I'm clutching the sides as long as | |
| I canIt's much too cold to swim | |
| And much too deep to stand. | |
| When I started off down this path | |
| I was well aware of the facts | |
| And despite the proof | |
| I have vowed to choose | |
| I continue bearing these (?) | |
| I thought | |
| I was quickas smart as a whip | |
| I guess I met my match | |
| Best stiffen up, my lip. | |
| My wit's getting weak | |
| The sea's on the rise | |
| And here I sit exposedatop the lying side | |
| I thought | |
| I was tough | |
| I thought | |
| I was strong | |
| But I can't stay aboard this sinking ship for long | |
| I thought | |
| I was quick | |
| Smart as a whip | |
| I guess I met my match this time | |
| I'll take my licks. | |
| And when push always comes to shove | |
| And I feel like enough's enough | |
| And despite the shit-storm that's pounding my home | |
| I walk outside and set off. | |
| Oh sea legs please don't fail me now | |
