4 Miles Deep Songtext
von Emily Triggs

It′s that time of year again
Boys have a drink about five a.m
Leadman says it's time they′re gone
The men throw the last of drinks back

And it's down to the docks again
He gives her a kiss and tells her to be strong
And it's down to the docks again

Leaving for weeks, she wished he′d stay in

It′s the first four days at sea
Lonely pictures, memories
The captain says they're ahead today
The waves start to build and the spray stings their face
And the boys are hauling them in
The captain says north and we′re not turning round
And they're strapped into their bunks
A prayer to God they′ll make it this time

When it seems the worst has passed


They get one more westward blast
And they're trying to lash gear down
One great wave and the boat, she′s spun round
And it's mayday on the line
The captain, he screams, we won't last for long

And it′s blasting out the glass
Keep up for print, boys, it′s all that you have
And it's fight to death, my boys
Angle the bow and the waves smash the ports
And it′s fight to death, my boys
Waves start to break, oh, they wish they'd stayed in

Morning breaks again
It′s calm except for the wind
There's a silence on the sea
′Cause nobody speaks when they're four miles deep

And it's down to the docks again
Remembers a kiss and how she stays strong
And it′s down to the docks again
With her little boy, how she wished he′d stay in
