[Verse]
Oh C#I bid farewall to the pF#ort and the land
And C#I paddled away from brave engD#land's white sands
To sC#earch for my long ago foF#rgotten friends
To sC#earch for the place I hear aG#ll sailors eC#nd
[Chorus]
As the sF#ongs of the dead fill the space of my mC#ind
I'll search without sleeping til peD#ace I can find
I fF#ear not the weather, I feC#ar not the sea
I remeG#mber the fallen, do tD#hey think of me?
When my boC#nes in the ocean foreG#ver will C#be
[Verse]
Plot a coC#urse to the night to a plF#ace I once knew
To a plC#ace where my hope died aloD#ng with my crew
So I swC#allow my grief and face liF#fe's final test
To fC#ind promise of peace and the solG#ace of rC#est
[Chorus]
As the sF#ongs of the dead fill the space of my eC#ars
Their laughter like children, their beckD#oning cheers
My heF#art longs to join them, sing sonC#gs of the sea
I remG#ember the fallen do thD#ey think of me?
When their boC#nes in the ocean forG#ever shall C#be
[Verse]
When at laC#st before my ghostly shiF#pmates I stand
I sC#hed a small tear for my hD#ome upon land
Though their eC#yes speak of death filled with strF#uggle and strife
Their smC#iles below say I don't G#owe them my lC#ife
[Chorus]
As the sF#ongs of the dead the space of my eyC#es
And my boat listed over and trD#ied to capsize
I'm thF#is far from drowning, tC#his far from the sea
I remeG#mber the living, do tD#hey think of me?
When my boC#nes in the ocean forG#ever will C#be
[Verse]
NC#ow that I'm down at the darF#kest abyss
I'm not suC#re what I want but I dD#on't think it's this
As C#my comrades call to stand fF#ast and forge on
I make sC#ail for the dawn til the darG#kness has gC#one
[Chorus]
As the soF#ngs of the dead live for ere in my mC#ind
As I live all the years that they leD#ft me behind
I'll stF#ay on the shore but still gaC#ze at the sea
I'll remG#ember the fallen, and tD#hey think of me
For our soC#uls in the ocean togeG#ther we'll C#be
I remeG#mber the fallen, and thD#ey think of me
For our soC#uls in the ocean togeG#ther we'll C#be
