가사
[Verse 1] This boat and the winds they carry me far
Far from the lands I have known
And away from the home of the girl from the land
A love soft and true that I want for my own
[Verse 2] My sweet Nala Lee was but a young colt
We met at the docks and beside my first boat
The smile on her face and a beautiful grace
I watched her move past me in a magical float
[Chorus] Oh I live on the sea and the tides run my heart
The ocean salt cleanses my bones
Oh Sweet Nala Lee you are heaven to me
Pray it not be, lass, that you and I part
[Verse 3] But port's just a tack on an old sailor's map
The ocean's my home, and where I will roam
However I dreamed of sweet Nala Lee
Each night as I lay alone in my sack
[Verse 4] I prayed every day to be sailing her way
May the Good Lord's port move closer to me
In full sail haste we have no time to waste
For closer is better with Sweet Nala Lee
[Chorus] Oh I live on the sea and the tides run my heart
The ocean salt cleanses my bones
Oh Sweet Nala Lee you are heaven to me
Pray it not be, lass, that you and I part
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 5] The port bell she rang as we threw down the ropes
Old timbers they scrub on the pier
I jumped to the docks and was gone with a jolt
But nowhere I looked was my Nala Lee fair
[Verse 6] Morning it came and up with a gasp
I saw her in another man's grasp
She loved the land and I love the sea
The dreams I had woven for Sweet Nala Lee
Oh my Good Lord, they weren't meant to be
[Chorus] Oh I live on the sea and the tides run my heart
The ocean salt cleanses my bones
Oh Sweet Nala Lee you were heaven to me
Sad that it be, lass, that you and I part
