I'm a sailor on this dark and dreadful sea
And I need courage just the same as you need me
I’ve been fishing for a cup of sympathy
But I keep getting waves that just won't let me be

And I'm gonna be late getting home tonight
If the tide won’t come in
And I'll be tired from the journey
But I'll be seeing you again
Thank God for you and me and the deep, deep blue sea

Oh, it ain't been the same since she hit up on the rock
But I still sail her even though she's had the knock
When I look out on the middle of the sea
I still dream the dreams of you and me

And I'm gonna be late getting home tonight
If the tide won't come in
And I'll be tired from the journey
But I’ll be seeing you again
Thank God for you and me and the deep, deep blue sea

Call me homeward when its time for me to leave
And I’ll be leaving thinkin' of who I'm gonna see
When I'm with you we will open up the sail
'Cause when I'm with you, I just know I’ll never bail

And I'm gonna be late getting home tonight
If the tide won't come in
And I'll be tired from the journey
But I'll be seeing you again
Thank God for you and me and the deep, deep blue sea
