lyrics

Up and gone before sunrise
Trying to make ends meet
Sailing on the sea just like their fathers
Sacrifice for stormy night and days all the same
Just thinking bout their sons and their daughters

He cried SOS we`ve got men in the water
Only time will tell if they will last
Days go by and we`ve got divers in the water
They`re fighting back the tears just like the rest

Seems like just yesterday your daddy worked you on the waves
Now seasons change hes passed just like the years
He taught you everything you know
How to catch a heavy load
Man if he could only see you now

He cried SOS we`ve got men in the water
Only time will tell if they will last
Days go by we`ve got divers in the water
They`re fighting back the tears just like the rest

We`re on our way home
Cut our trip short
We`re getting hit hard from the south
And the way that wind blows
I swear its all bones
It's come to claim all of our souls
