Thirteen nights to shore
Thats what I bargained for
Six months gone a hired hand
Roll over, the snow and ice
Every day is a roll of the dice
Dreaming of hot, dry sandLord, if I'd known how cold and lonely
The sea could be without company, I'd saySo long to my ocean home
So long to my dear sea, I'm going home
Wash my face in the salty water
I've got a date with the captain's daughter
Card game in the captain's shack
Bet my watch and got it back
And an old swinging picture on a nail
Her name was Annabel
And I knew I'd walk through hell
To find that face when we drop sailLord, if I'd known how cold and lonley
The sea could be without company, I'd saySo long to my ocean home
So long to my dear sea, I'm going home
Wash my face in the salty water
I've got a date with the captain's daughterWe heard the thunder clap
As the night came home pitch black
I tried to yell through the howling wind
Last thing I knew was the icy cold
That briny wave swallowed me whole
Lord, if I'd known how cold and lonely
The sea could be without company, I'd saySo long to my ocean home
So long to my dear sea, I'm going home
Wash my face in the salty water
I've got a date with the captain's daughter
With the captain's daughter
