You'll Never Be Gone Songtext
von Quantum Penguin

We were flying over green fields of the sea
Standing on the bow, my crew mates and me
But the night was cold
The stars were molten gold
The wind tore our sails in two
The waves threw our ship
The rocks we did hit
Cast into the bottomless blue

Woah woah

We washed up on the golden sands of a shore
Stranded on an island with nothing to moor
The sun was beating down
We were lying on the ground
Our skin was burnt right through
We searched and we scoured
And after about an hour
We′d lost almost half our crew

Woah woah


Woah hold on me lads and don't look down
We′ll be home before long
Woah hold on me lads we'll soon be found
While you're remembered you′ll never be gone

Old Jack ventured from the sands into the water
He was the best swimmer of us all and had no wife and no daughters
No one to kiss
No one to miss
If he did not return
But he found the crates
Filled with whisky from our freight
And a double share he did earn

Woah woah

We searched the dot of land for any rope or wood
Something that we could use to get home for good
But all we could find
Were two pieces of line
And a fishing rod cracked and bent
Then some pieces of our craft
Washed up to make a raft
It was almost heaven sent

Woah woah


Woah hold on me lads and don′t look down (home)
We'll be home before long (home)
Woah hold on me lads we′ll soon be found (home)
While you're remembered you′ll never be gone (home)

Woah hold on me lads and don't look down (home)
We′ll be home before long (home)
Woah hold on me lads we'll soon be found (home)
While you're remembered you′ll never be gone (home)

As we drifted out into the open sea
I thought of all the people left behind me
The sea came calm but my mind did not
Until it′s gone you don't know what you′ve got
The sea held my life in the palm of its hand
Could crush my hopes and dreams into dust and sand

Woah woah

Woah hold on me lads and don't look down (home)
We′ll be home before long (home)
Woah hold on me lads we'll soon be found (home)
While you′re remembered you'll never be gone (home)

Woah hold on me lads and don't look down (home)
We′ll be home before long (home)
Woah hold on me lads we′ll soon be found (home)
While you're remembered you′ll never be gone (home)

Hold on me lads, hold on (home)
Hold on me lads, while you're remembered you′ll never be gone (home)
Hold on me lads, hold on (home)
Hold on me lads while you're remembered you′ll never be gone (home)
While you're remembered you'll never be gone
