Lyrics

The heart of me is ocean bound

But I come from a landlocked town

No coasts or caverns to be found

Among the plains and fens

But when the road takes me in reach

Of ocean waters that beseech

Me every time to scour the beach

In search of hidden gems

Along the shore where can be seen

In frosty white, in blue and green

Some days even aquamarine

All from the water thrown

Discarded shards of glass who all

Were swept up in this waterfall

And now whose bodies so recall

The stories of their own

Haul away, haul away

I'm bound to follow oceans, I know no other way

Haul away, haul away

And make me who I am today

Well who amongst us can’t relate

To such an ordinary fate

As living in a constant state

Of battling with the tide

Who started out a fragile shell

That broke apart each time it fell

That you could see straight through as well

And know what lay inside

Then traded days in pubs and bars

For crashing waves beneath the stars

And storms that gave us battle scars

When best adventure beckoned

Who turned with currents, met with caves

Wandered lost among the waves

And managed to avoid our graves

But sometimes by mere seconds

Haul away, haul away

I’m bound to follow oceans, I know no other way

Haul away, haul away

And make me who I am today

Blessed those that understand

We all return back to the sand

We were born of, but bear the brand

Of suffering and our pleasure

Now I find that that time and tides

Have worn my edges, smoothed my sides

For tourists who come wandering by

To mistake me for treasure

Haul away, haul away

I'm no kind of opponent for the current or the sway

Haul away, haul away

That make me who I am today
