Carry on inside of your heart
G D Bm C
Under the brine you won't notice the dark

Can stone and steel and horses heels

I felt the lapping of an ebbing tide

Oh the heavy water how it enfolds

Always, always, always the sea
G Em
Brilliantine mortality

C G
Amid fumes of formaldehyde
D Bm
You have been gone for so long
C G D
I felt the lapping of an ebbing tide

Oh the heavy water how it enfolds

When this Corpus Christic isle became a land of ocean blue

At mentions of, no matter why,

And in the end, an August sun,
G Em
And one by one we blew
C D
Until the devil screamed in the evermore
G Em
In envy of the grace we saw
C D
Oh the heavy water how it enfolds
G Em
The salt, the spray, the gorgeous undertow
C D
Always, always, always the sea
G Em
Brilliantine mortality
