Why The Big Whales Sing Lyrics

Night arrives for starboard watch, the bosun settles in
The moon so brightly shining down on its horizon twin
Diamonds in the dark blue sky, silence of the wind
The waves so gently rock the ship, and maties there within

Sailors and captains
They don't know a thing
Of stormy days that lay ahead
Privateers and buccaneers
They don't know a thing
Of the songs of the ocean
Or why the big whales sing

A whalesong sung in moonlit sea, a tearless cry for love
It breaks the hearts of resting men alone in bunks above It tells a tale of long lost love, or lovers worlds apart
In dreams the Wales make sailors wish they never signed the chart

Sailors and captains
They don't know a thing
Of stormy days that lay ahead
Privateers and buccaneers
They don't know a thing
Of the songs of the ocean
Or why the big whales sing

Sailors and captains
They don't know a thing
Of stormy days that lay ahead
Privateers and buccaneers
They don't know a thing
Of the songs of the ocean
Or why the big whales sing
