Atlantic Blues lyrics

[Verse 1]
The sea is darker than the sky
I fear each wave as it rolls by
And the ocean rolls with glee
Every time I sigh

[Verse 2]
In all my dreams I never knew
A much more melancholy view
I'm here, you're there, and between
All that sea of blue

[Chorus]
Sailing
I've got those weepy wailing
Atlantic blues
Nervous
I've got those Lord-preserve-us
Atlantic blues
Ill winds
Chill winds
Creep right under my skin
While I sleep
Troubles keep
Rolling in
Grieving
I've got those lover-leaving
Atlantic blues
Hating
Those ever-separating
Atlantic blues
Oh, that
Woe that
Sends my heart to my shoes
So that
I've got those Atlantic blues
[Verse 3]
The sea is swelling with my tears
The wind is sighing with my fears
All around me nothing but
Sea and sky appears

[Verse 4]
The sky is like a hollow dome
Above a rolling sea of foam
Ocean, turn that ship around
Make it sail for home

[Chorus]
Sailing
I've got those weepy wailing
Atlantic blues
Nervous
I've got those Lord-preserve-us
Atlantic blues
Ill winds
Chill winds
Creep right under my skin
While I sleep
Troubles keep
Rolling in
Grieving
I've got those lover-leaving
Atlantic blues
Hating
Those ever-separating
Atlantic blues
Oh, that
Woe that
Sends my heart to my shoes
So that
I've got those Atlantic blues
