Travel By Sea

The Shams Band

Compositor: Dirtus / Donnie Biggins / Paul Gulyas

Oh how I wish to travel by sea
An’ see the dolphins swim past me
The waves, the sky, the water so blue
The emptiness sets so pure and true

Oh how I wish to travel by sea
There’s no need for you, just lonely me
My map-shaped hat sits upon my head
It guides me along my water bed

Oh how I wish to travel by sea
I hope to encounter a pirate or three
Become their friend and join in crime
And navigate from the stars aligned

Oh how I wish to travel by sea
Below the surface I can barely see
A dark new world of coral and trout
If I dare sink under I will never get out

Oh how I wish to travel by sea
I’ll leave my country so patiently
I’ll crash upon the side of sand
I’ll stick in my flag and claim my land
