The Johner Boys - O Tide Lyrics

Drop a flag to fly at half mast
For the life I left behind
Open fire twenty-one gun blast
Salute the ones denied

The life of a sailor has called me by name
To fly with the winds of the sea

Rush over oceans and canyon ravines
I'm so much more than a boy on the sea
Out here I'm conquering mountainous waves
Riding the seafarer straits
Gonna meet you at the docks where you let me go
Can't wait for the day, O tide bring me home

To find new ground will prove a great test
With so much to explore
Now as I sit atop the crow's nest
I long to see the shore

The life of a sailor has called me by name
To venture the depths of my destiny
You know I can't wait to return, but today
I fly with the winds of the sea

Rush over oceans and canyon ravines
I'm so much more than a boy on the sea
Out here I'm conquering mountainous waves
Riding the seafarer straits
Gonna meet you at the docks where you let me go
Can't wait for the day, O tide bring me home

And now we're on a steady voyage
Close to yelling "land ahoy"
It's been an honour brother
And now we're on a steady voyage
Close to yelling "land ahoy"
It's been an honour brother

I see you standing at the dock
Like you did long ago

I rushed over oceans and canyon ravines
I'm so much more than a boy on the sea
Out here I conquered the mountainous waves
Picturing this when I prayed
I would meet you at the dock where you let me go
Now I can say, O tide, I am home
