Lyrics

Lost At Sea

Lucas Farley was the son of a farmer
in 1843
A life on the land was not what he wanted
Or where he wanted to be
The lure of the ocean had always called him
Or so his marker reads
He was only 19 when his vessel foundered
And he was lost at sea

Chorus:
Don?t let the rain fall down
Don?t let the waves wash over me
Don?t let the wind blow in a gale
Don?t let me be
Lost at sea

(Repeat Chorus)

In the days of canvas and wooden vessels
Life hung by a thread
The wind would only ripple the water
To fill your heart with dread
A storm could toss your boat like a plaything
Likely as not you?ll be
Another name found in a hillside graveyard
Another lost at sea

(Repeat Chorus)

Well there?s beauty in danger and danger in beauty
And each man tries his hand
For a life on the sea?s not for the faint hearted
You're better off on land
And many a widow and many an orphan
Had bitter tears to weep
For the fathers and husbands and lovers and brothers
Forever lost at sea

(Repeat Chorus)
