i heard the men saying something
the captains tell they pay you well
and they say they need sailing men to
show the way and leave today
was it you that said
how long how long
they say the sea turns so dark that
you know it’s time you see the sign
they say the point demons guard is
an ocean grave for all the brave
was it you that said
how long how long
how long to the point of know return
your father he said he needs you
your mother she says she loves you
your brothers they echo your words
how far to the point of know return
well how long
today i found a message floating
in the sea from you to me
you wrote that when you could see it
you cried with fear the point was near
was it you that said
how long how long
to the point of know return
