lyrics

Down To The Sea

vs: A, (D), F#m
ch: G, D, A, G, G, D
br: Bm9, A, Gmj7, (D…)

come every autumn i find myself down
down at the harbour stumbling around
dreaming bout stealing some boat & drifting away
from all my commitments a half castaway

i go down to the sea
and let the waves beat the black dog out of me
down to the sea

here in the shadow the days become one
weeks become months as the year comes undone
the song that i wrote you is still in my head
safe under layers of a decade unsaid

i go down to the sea
and let the waves beat the black dog out of me
down to the sea
like a shipwreck survivor i fall to my knee
down to the sea

every year he arrives
i’m always taken by surprise
never see him coming
or hear the kick drumming
the fe fi fo fumming
till i’m running in circles again

the coastguard is silent as he tows me back in
he’s heard it all before but still i begin
and despite my heroics i know that he knows
to top up the diesel when the southerly blows
