|
no longer will i beneath you shelter |
|
all that you have given to me |
|
it was never on my behalf |
|
all this, all and more i cede to you |
|
swear away in fealty |
|
as i sail for warmer climes |
|
i am a king! you can't deny me my kingdom! |
|
what's this camaraderie of country |
|
that turns before me salty |
|
rust on fragile parts |
|
all this, all you have inspired |
|
the crew and ship of empire |
|
rig and mast and spars |
|
box of stripes and stars |
|
i am a king! you can't deny me my kingdom! |
|
you, sailor, on the lonely sea |
|
will you turn and promise me |
|
you'll always be alive |
|
oh i might stutter, i might falter |
|
sail uncharted waters |
|
drowning, lost, then found |
|
drowning, lost, then found |
|
i am a king! you can't deny me my kingdom! |
|
you, sailor, on the lonely sea |
|
will you turn and promise me |
|
you'll always be alive |
