Lyrics
Tall Tall Ships ©
Tony Edwards
Do the trade winds blow to the Caribbean
From the red and gold of Spain.
Or the Northern lights seem to show the way
To get back home again .
The sea is calling,
The wind is squalling.
I donÂ?t belong here on the land.
A lubberÂ?s life I donÂ?t understand
It's been been many aÂ?day since it crossed my mind,
Â?Does the Southern Cross like a diamond shine?Â?
I must go down to the sea again to the lonely sea and sky,
And all I need is a Tall Tall ship,
And a star to steer her by.
I must go down to the sea again to the lonely sea and sky,
And all I need is a Tall Tall ship,
And a star to steer her by.
