Sea Legs

Was a time when you had no face No eyes or ears, no nose or tongue But you had teeth and your back was strong Was a time when I let you go You went down deep and sunk your teeth Into the kelp and there you held Tried to forget about you But every time that I stood still My house went rolling, turning, and tipping And lying in my bunk, I had the strangest feeling Like an anchor slipping And suddenly I knew you had a warp around me And I needed you to hold on 'Cause every time the wind swung 'round I turned towards you Was a time when you held me steady Thе coast was clear and I was ready To go further than еver before Then came a day when I couldn’t see you I let you down, you cut me free And I went drifting like a bird across the sea Thought you forgot about me But every time that I stood still My house went rolling, turning, and tipping And lying in my bunk, I had the strangest feeling Like an anchor slipping And suddenly I knew you had a warp around me And I needed you to hold on Yes, suddenly I knew you had a warp around me And I needed you to hold on Suddenly I knew you had a warp around me And I needed you to hold on 'Cause every time the wind swings round I remember Was a time when I saw your face Your eyes were wild, your hair was long I fell in deep and the tide was strong
