[REST TWO BARS]
[x2, following verse structure]
Verse 1
You could smell the sea on his working clothes
I'd take his rough hands, and I wouldn't let go
Son, if ships don't sail, then our table's bare
Bridge
And I'm not alone out there
Verse 2
Got to grow up fast, when you don't have a choice
When the table's bare, and there's no father's voice
Smell his working clothes on the cold salt air
Bridge
And I'm not alone out there
No, I'm not alone out there
Chorus
We are cast adrift on an endless storm
Many dreams will come and wash overboard
But we will not mourn, what we have not lost
We will learn to row with the oars
Bridge
We have got
Verse 3
For the waves may die, but the sea remains
Nets disappear in the deep again
Lifting life for all to share
Bridge
And we're not alone out there
We are not alone out there
Chorus
We are cast adrift on an endless storm
Many dreams will come and wash overboard
But we will not mourn, what we have not lost
We will learn to row with the oars
We are cast adrift on an endless storm
(We cast adrift) (On the storm)
Many dreams will come and wash overboard
(Many dreams)
But we will not mourn, what we have not lost
(We will not mourn)
We will learn to row with the oars
Outro
We have got
We will learn to row with those oars
We will learn to row, ooh
We will learn to row with the oars we've got
