Song language: English
The Grey Funnel Line |
| Don’t mind the rain or the rolling sea |
| The weary night never worries me |
| But the hardest time in a sailor’s day |
| Is to watch the sun as it dies away |
| And it’s one more day on the Grey Funnel Line |
| The finest ship that sails the sea |
| Is still a prison for the likes of me |
| But give me wings like Noah’s dove |
| I’d fly up harbour to the girl I love |
| And it’s one more day on the Grey Funnel Line |
| Oh Lord, if dreams were only real |
| I’d have my hands on that wooden wheel |
| And with all my heart I’d turn her round |
| And tell the boys that we’re homeward bound |
| And it’s one more day on the Grey Funnel Line |
| I’ll pass the time like some machine |
| Until blue water turns to green |
| Then I’ll dance on down that walk ashore |
| And sail the Grey Funnel Line no more |
| And sail the Grey Funnel Line no more |
