lyrics

The old boys from floating factories
Spared us stories of their past times
Which leads youth like me to come to sea
With tickled sides, eyes full of wine

As we cross, I can see no further
As we cross, I can see no further

Bat blind, bar held me upright
Our laughs carried into the night
The old hands assured us we'd warm to the gloom
Reatin drunk posture to the rhythm of the room

We found time to reach and discover
Drown on and on about some foreign land
We found time to reach and discover
Drown on and on about some foreign land

Snap he slaps me, Death crept in to say
I'll keep my eyes on you boy, for else Shackleton's fate
Took note of this point, chasing whales great in stake
Harpoons heavier than blues, as Prins Olav lies in wait
Head spins with a green tinge but still I lay awake
