Old man of the sea
Fly your vessel o'er the fish teeming deep
Trim your sail and stow away the oars
You don't need to break your back anymore
Chart a course for the horizon
To the golden shores
Old man catch the wind
May your ending be the journey you begin
Fix your gaze upon the northern star
And carry each of us within your spacious heart
Let the ripples on the water
Fill the facets of your mind
With the faces of your sons and daughters
And the love you leave behind
Go in peace old man of mine
Old man fare thee well
May your travels take you safe beyond the veil
Though your going leaves us crying in our sleep
It's for the joy of having loved you that we weep
So to a God I don't believe in
I pray your soul to keep
For having left more than you've taken
Memory will treat you kind
So leave the shadows in your wake and
Keep the blessings that you find
Go in peace old man of mine
Old man of the sea
Fly your vessel o'er the fish teeming deep
Keep your gaze upon the brightest star
And carry each of us within your spacious heart
And know for sure we'll never truly be apart
