about

ABOUT THIS TRACK: A sea voyage ending in castaway, shipwreck & safe return home of only one on board.

lyrics

LYRICS:
This is how the story starts way, way, away
Death At Sea, a play with cast way, way, away

The sun shines down on the precious ones
The wind blows fair for the precious ones
About to set sail

A journey set for shores unknown way, way, away
A poor, unnamed, unspoken place known as Sorrow Bay

The sun goes down on the precious ones
The wind turns around for the precious ones
Who’ve just set sail, about to lose their way
They’ve just set sail

What a way to go castaway alone
I’ll be your companion tomorrow
A band of constant sorrow
A band of constant sorrow

The storm it tore the ship to shreds way, way, away The Captain, Crew are lost and Dead way, way, away

The sun shines down on the lonely one
The wind blows fair for the lucky one
Who made it back today Home from Sorrow Bay
He made it home today

This is how it ends ‘til death us depart friends
I’ll be your companion tomorrow
A band of constant sorrow
A band of constant sorrow
