lyrics

There’s a man in the water, just off the port side
Haul, haul away boys
By the time we turn round he’ll be lost to the tide
Haul, haul away boys
Would you rather it was you in the water instead?
Keep your heads down, there’s along night head
Haul, haul away boys
Haul, haul away

Throw his trunk over, it’ll just weigh us down
Haul, haul away boys
I’m sure he was dead before he started to drown
Haul, haul away boys
Don’t look at him now, as he raises his hand
There’ll be plenty more lost before we ever see land
Haul, haul away boys
Haul, haul away

Always the same, calling your name
The man in the water, over and over
Always the same, calling your name
‘Hail! Hail! What has become of me?
Hail! Hail! Can you not see me now?
Can you hear me?’
Always the same, calling your name
And the crew turns away as he lowers his hand
And you can still see his eyes, as he realises
Says ‘friend, friend, there’s nothing that you can do
Leave me, I will be fine
I will see you in the new land’
Haul, haul away boys
Haul, haul away

Now it’s been a year since we folded the sheet
And it isn’t his face that you see in the streets
Haul, haul away boys
Haul, haul away
