lyrics

[Find him, and bind him, tie a noose around his neck]
[Strap him to an anchor, and throw him o’re the deck]
The beach is lovely this time of year
Got the sand in my toes and the wind in my hair and

[I don’t care if you sail away]
[Cuz I know in my heart you’ll return someday]
[When your sight is gone and your hair is grey]
[Then I know you’ll return to the shore]
[And I don’t care if you sail away]
[Cuz I know in my soul you’ll return one day]
[When your hearing’s gone and your teeth decay]
[Then I know you’ll return to the shore]

[Find him, and bind him, tie a noose around his neck]
[Strap him to an anchor, and throw him o’re the deck]
It’s lonely and empty, I haven’t any fear
Watch the ship sail away, I’m grinning ear to ear!

[I don’t care if you sail away]
[Cuz I know in my heart you’ll return someday]
[When your sight is gone and your hair is grey]
[Then I know you’ll return to the shore]
[And I don’t care if you sail away]
[Cuz I know in my soul you’ll return one day]
[When your hearing’s gone and your teeth decay]
[Then I know you’ll return to the shore]

My feet are weighed down and the tides coming in
Salt in my mouth as it’s up to my chin
My day is done, nothing left to explore
Wouldn’t have it any other way, just leave me on the shore!

Find him [find him] and bind him [bind him] tie a noose around his neck
Find him [find him] and bind him [bind him, tie a noose around his neck]
Find him [find him] and bind him [bind him, tie a noose around his neck]
[Strap him to an anchor, and throw him o’re the deck!]

[I don’t care if you sail away]
[Cuz I know in my heart you’ll return someday]
[When your sight is gone and your hair is grey]
[Then I know you’ll return to the shore]
[And I don’t care if you sail away]
[Cuz I know in my soul you’ll return one day]
[When your hearing’s gone and your teeth decay]
[Then I know you’ll return to the shore]

[And I don’t care that I died today]
[Cuz I have what you want when you sailed away]
[And I don’t regret the mistakes I made]
[And I’m happy to be left on the shore]
[And I don’t care that I died today]
[Cuz I got what you want when you sailed away]
[And I don’t regret the mistakes I’ve made]
[I’m happy to be left on the shore]
