Cruel Mistress — текст песни (Flogging Molly)

Next time out to sea

Bring enough soul to bury me

For I dont want my final jig

In the belly of a squid

Take my trousers take my shirt

Just give me that sweet dirt

For the waters cold and grim

And I never did learn to swim

No her love never set me free

So I set off for the ocean

Now in my dreams she comes to me

Whispering of peace

But Ive known since the day

That we sailed for santiago

Her dry embrace would kiss my face

No never, no more



The sea is a cruel mistress

The sea is a cruel mistress



Many moons to the day

That I threw her love away

Now every whale spouts go to hell

As the wind laughs in my face

Ive grown harder on the eyes

And salty to the taste

My pride has gone with the wake

As I wait a cold wet grave

I rose to the smell

Of a wet desert hell

And I thought to myself

Howd I wind up in this jail

Till a voice called to me

From deep within the sea

Dry your eyes my dear fisherman

Your ass belongs to me



The sea is a cruel mistress

The sea is a cruel mistress



The earth will rest my bones

Lord I know, lord I know

But Ill see you when I get home

From the cold, yeah from the cold



No her love never set me free

So I set out for the ocean

Now in my dreams she comes to me

Whispering of peace

But Ive known since the day

That we sailed for santiago

Her dry embrace would kiss my face

No never, no more



The sea is a cruel mistress

The sea is a cruel mistress



Next time out to sea

Bring enough soil to bury me

For I dont want my final jig

In the belly of a squid



Next time out to sea

Bring enough soil to bury me

For in my dreams she comes to me

Whispering of peace....
