Songs To Orphans 1
Cowboys Of The Sea
They ride beneath the waves at twenty thousand leagues
On stallions stitched to seaweed strands, so smiling, so smiling
They herd the fishes of the deep, they ride for you and me
They ranch the rich and the sunken soil at the bottom of the sea.
And in the dead of night alive and sleep I hear them calling me
Them deep sea desperados, the midnight maelstrom freaks
The cowboys of the sea
On wings of sleep I pierce the deep and ride like a hurricane
In midnight still I paid my bill and I turned my back on the land
With the help of old paint that seaweed nag its just Jesse James and me
We ride the depths and ride the banks at the bottom of the sea.
Oh and with a seamans grip on navigation with some fired hired hands
We ride out to confront the nation and lend a cowboys hand
We do the dolphins dance duet, my mermaid maid and me
Then I ride into the blue sunset at the bottom of the sea
And with a seamans grip on submarining and some aqualung outlaws
Our guns are made of solid dreaming and bullets from a broken cause.
Oh and with hand held high to touch the sky a good Texas Ranger Ill be
But sometimes I feel like a lone stranger, midst the cowboys of the sea
Oh
And because of his greed were a vanishing breed
We cowboys of the sea
