Bono A Dying Sailor To His Shipmates Lyrics

Oh, wrap me in my country's flag, and lay me in the cold blue sea Let the roaring of the waves, my solemn requiem be And I shall sleep a pleasant sleep, while storms above their vigils keep

My Captain brave shall read for me, the service of the silent dead And yay shall lower me in the waves, when all the prayers are said And I will find my long, long home, among the billows and the foam Farewell my friends for many a league, we've sailed together on the deep Come let us shake our hands, I'll sail no more, but shipmates wear for weep
I'm bound above, my course is run I near the port, my voyage is done
