Sea Fever

Sea fever, my mother called it.

Sea fever, she knew that I had.

When the wind is blowing out of the singing South

then will I be going, sea spray salty upon my mouth.

Sea fever, my mother called it.

Sea fever, she knew that I had.

When the tide is drifting over the silver sand,

My heart sails are drifting,

Set upon another land

Sea fever, my mother called it.

Sea fever, she knew that I had.

When the stars are staring out of a cloudless sky,

Then would I be 'faring out where the gray gulls cry

Sea fever, my mother called it.

Sea fever, she knew that I had.
