A Husband’s Song

Verse 1

Set a course for the end
Fold the sails my friend
Seems I’m lost on the sea
My love, we’ll never meet again

Bridge 1

Say it isn’t so, say it isn’t so
Say it’s a lie, say it isn’t so
Say we’ll meet again –
I’d die to live again,
I’d die to live again

Verse 2

The night was immense
The sea was formless noise
The sun rose in the west
And we gaped like little boys

Bridge 2

And I thought of you
So far away, drying your eyes
And when I thought of you
It seemed so hard to bear -
To never live again,
I’ll never live again

Chorus

So throw your line out in the sea
And let it sink, let it go down
In the deep

Verse 3

We pushed off from the world
See this sail unfurl
And in the haze of the dead
We watched the ocean swirl

[Bridge 1]

[Chorus]

Extended Chorus

Let it fall, throw it down
Throw this burden to the sea
And walk away

They told me you were born in an orchard
They told me you were born in the sun
They told me you were born to be happy

So let it go, throw it down
Throw your burden to the wind
Please get married
Have another baby
Why not have a few

And in the sea, let it sink
Let it go down in the drink

Let it fall, watch it sink
Watch it fall into the deep
