Hilary Grist sailor song

Select language to translate this lyric

Night rocks the ship,
Fall out of my bed
The wind in my dreams louder than
Yesterday's game
So I get up again
Pull on my shirt, now walk out on the deck
Pray for a breezing candle of black stars
And the sails up again
Waves please wash me home
Or pull me close down
Waves please wash me home
Or raise me up
Sea on my left, rocks on my right
The anchor was dropped
Waters running out
So I'll drink rum again
Ruined and alone, I strangely be calmed
This place that I'm in is not on a map, or chart
And the Suns up again,
Waves please wash me home
Or pull me close down
Waves please wash me home
Or raise me up
Man this machine without coal or steam
Wait for the sail to fill towards the open sea
Left my head up again
