Colin Hay Sea Dogs
Over seas and far away, heave away boys
Sea dogs sail their lives away, heave away boys
Ghosts of sea dogs at break of day
Crusty beards and coats of grey
Weigh the anchor, let's be away
From this day on, we're carried by the wind
Over seas and far away, heave away boys
Sea dogs sail their lives away, heave away boys
Creaky decks and ruthless men
Ruled by the lash where some met their end
The old world was new, in all directions then
Conquered by a few, at the loss of so many
Over seas and far away, heave away boys
Sea dogs sail their lives away, heave away boys
Over seas and far away, heave away boys
Sea dogs sail their lives away, heave away boys
Crusty beards and bloodshot eyes, squint up at the sun
Horizons hold fast and seduce the sea dogs over
Some live to tell tall tales, and some never returned
Leaving only their dreams, carried by the sea
