The Last Watch 가사

On the last watch far out on the sea The day's work but a bad memory My mind wanders to you and to home Oh my darling my lover my own All alone on the watch, wheel in hand My tear filled eyes search for land Thoughts of you pierce my heart like a knife Oh my darling, my lover, my wife On the last watch the pain fades away All the blisters and bruises of the day With the moon your visage does rise Like the Phoenix setting fire to the skies In the day hard at work, no time to think Knee deep in the blood, sweat, and stink With the crack of the lash, swift and true All hope dies of returning to you But on the last watch my hope is reborn Though in the day- like my back- it is torn The night sky will mend it every time In the darkness you envelope my mind I will do what I can to stay alive With your memory I know I will survive Never again to sea, when I'm home Oh my darling, my lover, my own On the last watch far out on the sea The day's work but a bad memory My mind wanders to you and to home Oh my darling, my lover, my own All alone on the watch, wheel in hand My tear-filled eyes search for land Thoughts of you pierce my heart like a knife Oh my darling, my lover, my wife
