Lyrics The Wailin' Jennys

The Wailin' Jennys

Across The Sea

I see your face across the sea

You’re in the waves, surrounding me

I hear your voice call on the breeze

On this ship out on the ocean

Sailing across the sea on a big ship on the ocean

The moon is rising in the east the stars hang down around her

The bow is arrowed to the hearts of the ones we wish to come home to

But the newly lit night directs this flight singing the ocean road will guide you

I see your face across the sea

You’re in the waves, surrounding me

I hear your voice call on the breeze

On this ship out on the ocean

When I wake I’ll cast my anchor down and dive below

I’ll dive into my lover’s arms we’ll warm the ocean’s cold

Across the sea and to our home we’ll meet again so soon

You’ll be with me across the sea on this ship out on the ocean

I see your face across the sea

You’re in the waves, surrounding me

I hear your voice call on the breeze

On this ship out on the ocean
