The Wild, Wild Sea Lyrics - The Soul Cages - Sting

I saw it again this evening 

Black sail in a pale yellow sky 

And just as before in a moment, 

It was gone where the grey gulls fly 

If it happens again I shall worry 

That only a strange ship could fly 

And my sanity scans the horizon 

In the light of the darkening sky 

That night as I walked in my slumber 

I waded into the sea strand 

And I swam with the moon and her lover 

Until I lost sight of the land 

I swam till the night became morning 

Black sail in a reddening sky 

Found myself on the deck of a rolling ship 

So far where no grey gulls fly

All around me was silence 

As if mocking my frail human hopes 

And a question mark hung in the canvas 

For the wind that had died in the ropes 

I may have slept for an hour 

I may have slept for a day 

For I woke in a bed of white linen 

And the sky was the color of clay 

At first just a rustle of canvas 

And the gentlest breath on my face 

But a galloping line of white horses 

Said that soon we were in for a race 

The gentle sigh turned to a howling 

And the grey sky she angered to black 

And my anxious eyes searched the horizon 

With the gathering sea at my back

Did I see the shade of a sailor 

On the bridge through the wheelhouse pane 

Held fast to the wheel of the rocking ship 

As I squinted my eyes in the rain 

For the ship had turned into the wind 

Against the storm to brace 

And underneath the sailor's hat 

I saw my father's face 

If a prayer today is spoken 

Please offer it for me 

When the bridge to heaven is broken 

And you're lost on the wild, wild sea 

Lost on the wild, wild sea...
