Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

Sweet breeze

Sweet breeze blows them out to sea

they do sing they feel free

In the harbour their girls do cry

in the seven seas they’ll die

Children play above the cliffs

will their fathers they miss

Church bells ringing out to sea

a mermaid dances and they feel free

These sailors addicts all

the sea each one does enthral

Each one knows one day they’ll drown

their bodies never found

But still they need they need to sail

each one’s addiction never fails

In the harbour their girls do cry

in seven seas they’ll die
