That Sea, the Gambler Songtext
von Gregory Alan Isakov

Cursed your captain and stow me below
Hold me amongst all your cards
Oh we were sea bound and aimless at best
Clutching to the wheel and those charts
That sea was just a gambler at heart

Oh, there we were; on the sun hit the starboard
And we were as free as we could be
Waited for land; oh we waited for thee
Aimed to stay calm and cool
And that sea was just a gambling fool


Come to me, Mary come; you know you once were queen
The ocean is holding all the kings
Tossed aside the weary

How I′d love to steer you straight into those waters
While those daunting clouds above began to pour
And when we're found, I′ll kiss that ground
And roll around on that lovers floor

Come to me, Mary come; you know you once were queen
The ocean is holding all the kings
Tossed aside the weary

The ocean holding everything
Tossed aside the weary

Aw, that dreadful, gambling sea
