Lyrics Calamity - David Cross

Calamity

Calamity
And where the wind does blow
My wretched ship will go
Been cast upon the waves
With a hundred souls to save
The harbour’s smashed in pieces
And the lighthouse keeper’s old
He been sleeping on the job
And he blind to my morse code
We’re sinking fast
Your father’s thunder blew us both halfway to France
And he’d have put me under given the chance
The cargo’s overboard
We been hungry for three weeks
Red whiskey eyes have I
Now the hull’s begun to leak
Calamity, my girl
Is there something you could lose?
A few small bars o' gold?
Maybe fifty pairs of shoes?
We’re sinking fast
I’ve never known a girl that leaves so much to chance
So let the ocean do its worst and dance with me
Calamity, my girl
I’m a sea-sick, drunken wreck
Can’t dance for all the water
That’s swallowing my deck
We’re sinking fast
The wind has changed and left us both no time to think
So let the ocean do it’s worst and sink with me
