I pack my sorrow up
And I give myself away
To some novel adventure
The seven seas I'll sail
And I be a seafaring pilgrim, oh
There'll be no compass for me
If I partner the ocean
And I quiver knock-kneed
While the tides are rising 'round me
And I know that it's time to go yeah, oh
Well, how landlocked lies London
But there's a tune whistled still
Down the cobbles and amber
And all along the Fey Primrose hill
Hark the tides rise to offer me
Some escape from her verse
And if I roll on the ocean
I'll be lost to her curse
The tides are risin' 'round me
And I know that it's time to go
The tides are risin' 'round me
And I know that it's time to go, yeah
Oh, yeah, hallelujah I know now
Lord, it's now that I know
Oh, the role of the jetsam
And the ebb and the flow
Hallelujah, I know now
Lord, it's now that I know
Oh, the drift of the treasure
I've been asleep in the hold
The tides they rise around me, and I know

You may remember me, funny
And you may bid me farewell
And you may speak of my legend
And all your friends you can tell
But whenever I shore leave
You'll know how different I'll see
With my port and my starboard
And all the secrets I've gleaned
Tides are rising around me and I know that it's time to go
Oh, tides are rising around me and I know that it's time to go, yeah
Hallelujah, I know now
Lord, it's now that I know
Oh, the role of the jetsam
And the ebb and the flow
Hallelujah, I know now
Lord, it's now that I know
Oh, the drift of the treasure
I've been asleep in the hold tonight
Hallelujah, I know now
Lord, it's now that I know
Oh, the role of the jetsam
And the ebb and the flow tonight
Hallelujah, I know now
Lord, it's now that I know
Oh, the drift of the treasure
I've been asleep in the hold
