Life at Sea Songtext
von The Frankl Project

In the middle of this war we wage with the other side of the world
I′ve found myself a light in the eyes of an Irish girl
They sing to me so softly, I get lost in her smile
And then I forget the world, if only for a little while

And that's just what I need
Is another damn distraction in a life at sea


And I feel like a man on fire in the face of the ocean breeze
Or the light of a funeral pyre through the tops of the tall, tall trees
A beacon or illusion, the faith of a man exiled
Extinguished but so soothing, if only for a little while

And that′s just what I need
Is a fleeting glimpse of hope in a life at sea

When the heavens open wide may the waters wash me clean
For we live our whole damn lives in these ships of steel and steam
And in this mass confusion I feel like a little child
But it helps me forget the girl, if only for a little while

And that's just what I need
May love provide a purpose for your life at sea
