Open Sea, Open Sky

from Creatures (2012) by City of Sound

lyrics

Watchin' from the shore, the ships they come & go
Places far away that I would never know
If I could jump in right now I'd catch a ship before
It sailed out to the deepest sea & found another shore

Oh what a life it would be
For my shipmates, crew & me
Yeah, so now I'm off to find my treasure
Set my spirit free
Oh set me free & out of mind
Yeah, on the open sea & in the open sky
Oh set me free & out of mind
All those tiny little coconuts, they hangin from their tree
For my shipmates, crew and me
Yeah, what black-bearded pirates some women can be
Oh set me free & out of mind

Yeah, I met this girl who sang the blues & plays guitar
And she made me homemade meals after drinkin' at the bar
And I met this man that grew up to be a kid
He spent all his nights not knowing what he did
If the Lord can hear me now I'd ask him a question
I'd say "Could I have a beer please & a girl for this erection?"
That's when the lightning storm, it came over me
It struck me from the clouds and then it sailed me out to sea

And the sea is still here where I lie
It's like some soft magic pills slowed down my eyes
If one day I wake up & I am 85
I'm gonna find me a pirate-wife who'll blow me til I die

Oh set me free & out of mind
On the open sea & the open sky
