Burial At Sea

Take me out to the edge of the sky

Fill me with laughter and a lopsided smile

Roll back the waves that cloud my eyes

I want to dance with the whales for a while

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

There's a message in a bottle

From fourteen hundred and ninety-two

Shipwrecked sailors on a rock

A stone's throw away from the village they plundered

"Our time is up, no more shall we count

The clicks of the clock"

Oh yeah, oh yеah, oh yeah

"Beware, bеware with sea-weed in her hair

A mermaid strums a haunted mandolin

She'll take you deeper into the maze

Past the point where you'll survive

By doing tricks with your chin"

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

"Oh, the sleepers of the deep sweep from shore to floor

Chances are slim you'll come back the same

And if you wish to return to the shore

I’ll teach the gentle Vikings to remember your name."

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

So drain me away to the far-flung sea

Measure me with mystery, weigh me with wonder

Slip me away between the sheets

Over the top and all the way under

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
