Sea Shanty (Live version)

from My Dad's Songs by Michael Averill

/

lyrics

Done my time
I learned my lines
Grind stoned my nose down
Followed duties faithfully
Never messed around
But when my scenes get sorted out
And the time that's left is mine
I won't be sad about leavin' it all behind

Cause someday I'm gonna settle myself
In a shanty by the sea
Sit in the sun till the day is done
Watch those waves roll in on me

Oh the days have come
The years have gone
With quite surprising speed
And I've been doing what it is I do
To get those things I think I need
But now I'm growing older
And I know I'm slowin' down
It's time I packed my stuff
And got out of this town

Cause someday I'm gonna settle myself
In a shanty by the sea
Sit in the sun till the day is done
Watch those waves roll in on me

Cause someday I'm gonna settle myself
In a shanty by the sea
Sit in the sun till the day is done
Watch those waves roll in on me
