  once  was   a      sailor      a      young man   and    brave
  night       as I'm stood    on the    deck  in    the    rain
  rock  me    so     gently      now    ocean       so     deep

  nights were once   sleepless      my  peace    I  would  crave

  wish  I     was    back  cause I      think    I  can't  sleep
