[00:08.51]He said part of me has been lost at sea
[00:12.92]Never to return again
[00:16.59]
[00:17.40]With her eyes wide open
[00:19.55]She was softly spoken
[00:21.79]said: "babe, are you missing the breeze again?"
[00:25.15]
[00:26.13]You look just fine, sailor
[00:28.40]Your shoes still shine
[00:30.12]After years of a house that don't sway
[00:33.67]
[00:34.02]But she could seein his eyes that ship's flag still flies
[00:38.71]And his home was a ocean away
[00:42.33]
[00:43.35]He sang, freedom was mine for one last time
[00:47.47]When I was sailing along those waves
[00:51.00]
[00:51.73]And now my plate don't slide
[00:54.09]And my rum's now wine
[00:56.22]And I will never be the same
[00:59.42]
[01:00.57]I don't hear birds no more
[01:03.03]But there's swallows on my hands
[01:04.83]I earnt a star that wasn't plucked from above
[01:08.10]
[01:08.80]I have memories of friends
[01:10.93]Who left this earth as young men
[01:13.18]Yet my hairs as white as my hat once, was
[01:16.76]
[01:17.80]We sang, freedom was mine for one last time
[01:22.20]When I was sailing along those waves
[01:25.46]
[01:25.75]And now my plate don't slide
[01:28.36]And my rum's now wine
[01:30.43]And I will never be the same
[01:34.07]
[01:34.68]I hear a blast in the background
[01:37.37]Feel the wind whip my face
[01:39.24]Towing a sister ship that didn't make it home
[01:42.67]
[01:43.48]Colours, fade away from me as I awake, my wife said
[01:48.96]"I'm sleeping next to my own"
[01:51.46]
[01:52.13]I was but, freedom was mine for one last time
[01:56.67]When I was sailing along those waves
[02:00.53]And now my plate don't slide
[02:03.20]And my rum's now wine
[02:05.23]And I will never be the same
[02:08.78]
[02:27.08]He sang, freedom was mine for one last time
[02:30.75]When we were sailing along those waves
[02:35.11]And now my plate don't slide
[02:37.77]And my rum's now wine
[02:39.83]And I will never be the same
[02:46.57]
