lyrics

Don’t mind the rain, or the rolling sea,
The weary night, never worries me.
But the hardest time, in a sailor’s day,
Is to watch the sun, as it dies away.
Its one more day, on the Grey Funnel Line.
The finest ship, that sails the sea,
Is still a prison, for the likes of me.
But give me wings, like Noah’s dove,
I’ll fly above her, to the girl I love.
Its one more day, on the Grey Funnel Line.
Oh, Lord if dreams, were only real,
I’d have my hand, on that wooden wheel.
And with all my heart, I’d turn around,
And tell the boys, that we’re homeward bound.
Its one more day, on the Grey Funnel Line.
I’ll pass the time, like some machine,
Until blue water turns to green.
Then I’ll dance on down, and I’ll walk ashore,
And sail the Grey Funnel Line more.
And sail the Grey Funnel Line more.
