I don't need no shore leave 'Cause feet fixed, I still sway to the sea's heave Don't need to be wrung out or hung out to dry I know how the lands lie And if you came on board I know you'd scan for the safety of a lighthouse blink Any port in a storm, love You promise you won't falter But I know I've seen men sink So you should get on board With someone whose course is steadier than mine You should get on board With someone whose eyes are on the horizon Not on the skies On board with someone Whose anchor is heavier than mine You should get on board Haaaaa 'Cause I'm a flotsam jetsam mess A drunken sailor in a dress And fifty fathoms deep no less when my heart's at sea And if you came on board I know you'd tire of the tossing of my seabed And forget what I said Ships were not built to be safe, no, no, no So you should get on board With someone whose course is steadier than mine You should get on board With someone whose eyes are on the horizon Not on the skies On board with someone Whose anchor is heavier than mine You should get on board Haaaaa Well, I've weathered worse storms Than the one, the one you've been Brewin' up in your mind I've weathered worse storms Lord knows, he knows I've been sailin' For an awfully long time Worse storms than all your fair-weather friends And your shipmates combined Tie up those lines 'Cause I shot the albatross And I will swim across The old man and the sea has nothin' on me 'Cause this love is steady Truer than North Now you take that on board You take that on board No, you should get on board With someone whose course is steadier than mine (I've weathered worse storms) You should get on board With someone whose eyes are on the horizon Not on the skies (I've sailed at sea) On board with someone Whose anchor is heavier than mine (I've sailed at sea) You should get on board (Waiting for thee) I'll be the figurehead On your ship's bow I'll be the last glimpse of a topsail As we go down I'll be waiting on the seabed Repeating the words (You said) Don't forget, ships were not built to be safe And in all my life's mistakes You were not one 'Cause all I've ever done All I've ever done Is love you To the bottom of the deep blue sea
