This sea shanty was recorded on my iphone at the Mark West Hospital in the closest approximation of my old favorite stairwell.
lyrics
Don't mind the rain or the rolling sea
The weary night never worries me
But the hardest time in a sailor's day
It's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line
The finest ship that sails the sea
Is still a prison for the likes of me
But give me wings like Noah's dove
I'll fly up harbour to the girl I love
It's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line
Oh Lord if dreams were only real
I'd feel my hands on that wooden wheel
And with all my heart I'd turn her round
It's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line
I'll pass the time like some machine
Until the waters turn to green
Then I'll dance on down that walk ashore
And sail the Grey Funnel Line no more
It's one more day on the Grey Funnel Line
