Oh, it came from the sea,
Yes it came from the sound,
The water is rising it covered my knees.
Hang on to the bow line,
We're all bearing down.
Oh, it came from the sea.
Lightning has shattered a hole in the night.
White waves have taken my family away.
From top of the mainsail, you pray and you plea,
Oh, it came from the sea.
Oh, it came from the sea
Yes it came from the sound
The water is rising it covered my knees
Hang on to the bow line
We're all bearing down
Oh, it came from the sea
Lightning has shattered a hole in the night
White waves have taken my family away
From top of the mainsail, you pray and you plea
Oh, it came from the sea
La da da da diddy dum
Steady wall of gold and green and sun
La da da da diddy dum
Daddy's gone to sea and now he's gone
Oh, it came from the sea
Yes it came from the sky
Salt water rings on the lids of your eyes
The whales will swim where the trees used to be
Oh, it came from the sea
Raise the sails tonight
The sea's our home tonight
All hands on tonight
We all go down tonight
