Shanty Songtext
von Luke Ritchie

Storm-front coming from the southern coast,
Leaves its mark upon the land.
Heads on up towards the eastern shore,
She bares her teeth to show a smile.
Sudden how it gets so dark in this town,
Twenty minutes since the day.
Holding out to think of something brighter here,
That I can tell your Dad back home.

Send a prayer to my own,
To my hope.
Seek her out,
Keep her safe,
In my love.
Lord, please, keep her sound now.


But I′m restless, so I head out for the door,
Find I'm drawn towards the church.
Start to hear the trees, they′re roaring up ahead,
Crowd the light out like a curse.
Calling me back to those brave November souls
That I can't defy, I can't forget.
Think I′d love you more if you were strong and wrong,
Than if you were weak and right?

Send a prayer to my own,
To my hope.
Seek her out,
Keep her safe,
In my love.
Lord, please, keep her sound now.

Sea pulls like a longing,
And floods everything else from my mind.
Home calls like a warning – a note in the night -,
Catch in my heart.

Hope you′re safe,
Hope you're sound,
