lyrics

When the boat did rock, well he threw his sails to the wind
And he didn't mind the rain, it felt cool on his skin

But it came as quite a shock to find himself at sea
But he didn't mind the solitude, it felt new to be free

And the boat did try to cast him off
But he clung with both hands to the mast
Yes the boat did try to cast him off
You must cling with both hands to the mast

And the times that he felt his fingers slip and he thought that he'd jump ship
He felt a cool breeze, a voice on the ocean
It was soothing, it was soothing, and it made him steady

And the boat did try to cast him off
But he clung with both hands to the mast
Yes the boat did try to cast him off
You must cling with both hands to the mast

He came in from the sea
And with his feet on solid ground
Sure, he wondered what all the fuss had been about

He came in from the sea x 4
