I still get up before the day breaks
I still walk down to the shore
I watch the sun rise from the eastern ocean
But i dont sail to meet it anymore
How could they have let this happen
We saw it coming years ago
The greedy ships kept getting bigger and bigger
And the sonar told them where to go
Last night i dreamed that i was sailing upon the sea-ea of galla lee
We cast our nets upon the water and jesus pulled them in with me
Where am i gonna go now
What about this boat i own
What about this old piano
What about my fathers bones
Last night i dreamed that i was sailing upon the sea-ea of Galla lee
We cast our nets upon the water and jesus pulled them in with me
In with me
Someone sang an old sea shanty
And nearly told the mainland joke
Kelly cursed and swore until his voice gave out
Then he asked me for a smoke
Then he took his fathers shot gun
Walked to the harbour through the town
He fired 14 times woke everyone up
And we all watched that boat go down
Last night i dreamed that i was sailing out on the sea-ea of galla lee
We cast our nets upon the water and jesus pulled them in with me
Last night i dreamed that i was sailing out on the sea-ea of galla lee
We cast our nets upon the water and jesus pulled them in with me
I still get up before the day breaks
And I still walk down to the shore
I watch the sun rise from the eastern ocean
But i dont sail to meet it anymore
