The Whaler (Live At The House of Blues) - Thrice

My lover's arms

Ooh they beg me to stay

But I know the storms

They will sweep me away

My daughter's eyes

They are two tiny seas

Whose water will rise

And then run down her cheeks

"Father, where do you go

So far out upon the sea?

When are you coming home to me?"

"Darling, why do you leave

As the north wind begins to blow?

Will you be coming home to me?"

The boat and the blade

They are all that I know

The sea calls my name

And so I must go

And while they still sleep

I slip out through the door

But how can I leave

With my anchors ashore?

"Father where do you go?

It's farther than I can see

Where are you coming home to me?"

"Darling why do you leave

As the north wind begins to blow?

Will you be coming home to me?"

Ahh...
