The Waves Roll Out - The Brothers Four[00:00:00]
Oh come along boys [00:00:10]
I'll sing you a song[00:00:12]
Of the days when the fish were thick and I[00:00:15]
Was young and strong [00:00:17]
We set sail in the morning [00:00:20]
In the teeth of a howling wind[00:00:22]
And the waves roll out [00:00:28]
And the waves roll in[00:00:30]
And the waves roll out [00:00:32]
And the waves roll in[00:00:35]
Then late that night [00:00:37]
There rose a gale[00:00:40]
And it snapped the mast like a stick of wood[00:00:43]
And it ripped the sail[00:00:45]
You should've seen the compass whirl[00:00:47]
As the ship began to spin [00:00:50]
And the waves roll out [00:00:55]
And the waves roll in[00:00:57]
And the waves roll out [00:01:00]
And the waves roll in[00:01:02]
Then the sea turned red and the sky went white[00:01:05]
And I heard a weird and wailing cry tear through the night[00:01:10]
And the sea opened up like a gaping mouth[00:01:15]
And pulled us screaming in [00:01:17]
And the waves roll out [00:01:23]
And the waves roll in[00:01:25]
And the waves roll out [00:01:28]
And the waves roll in[00:01:30]
And there I saw on the ocean floor[00:01:32]
The sailors drowned and dead for thirty years or more[00:01:38]
Their boney skinless toothless jaws[00:01:43]
In a ghostly ghastly grin[00:01:45]
And the waves roll out [00:01:51]
And the waves roll out [00:01:52]
And the waves roll in[00:01:53]
And the waves roll in[00:01:54]
And the waves roll out [00:01:55]
And the waves roll out [00:01:57]
And the waves roll in[00:01:58]
And the waves roll in[00:01:59]
And every eye turned toward the shore[00:02:00]
And every leg was chained there to the ocean floor[00:02:06]
And each cried out for the ones on land[00:02:11]
They'd never see again[00:02:13]
And the waves roll out [00:02:18]
And the waves roll in[00:02:21]
And the waves roll out [00:02:23]
And the waves roll in[00:02:26]
Their ghostly eyes burned through the sea[00:02:28]
And each one screamed and reached a bony hand for me [00:02:34]
Crying This is the grave of the sailors damned[00:02:38]
To pay for a life of sin [00:02:41]
And the waves roll out [00:02:46]
And the waves roll in[00:02:49]
And the waves roll out [00:02:51]
And the waves roll in[00:02:53]
The morning found me by the shore[00:02:56]
And none believed I was the man[00:03:01]
Who sailed the day before[00:03:04]
My hair was white my eyes were old[00:03:06]
And I was bent and thin[00:03:08]
And the waves roll out [00:03:13]
And the waves roll in[00:03:15]
And the waves roll out [00:03:17]
And the waves roll in[00:03:20]
So bully boys you've heard my song[00:03:22]
About the days when the fish were thick and I[00:03:27]
Was young and strong[00:03:30]
I've told of a curse that waits for you[00:03:32]
If you hold to your life of sin[00:03:34]
And the waves roll out [00:03:40]
And the waves roll in[00:03:42]
And the waves roll in[00:03:47]
