Gregory Alan Isakov - That Sea, the Gambler Lyrics
Hold me amongst all your cardsOh we were sea bound and aimless at best,Clutching to the wheel and those charts,but that sea was just a gambler at heartOh there we were; the sun hit the starboard,And we were as free as we could be.We waited for land; oh we waited for theeWe aimed to stay calm and cool,But that sea was just a gambling foolCome to me, Mary come; you know you once were queenThe ocean is holding all the kings,And tossed aside the wearyHow I’d love to steer you straight into those watersWhile those daunting clouds above began to pourAnd when we’re found, we’ll kiss that ground,And roll around on that lovers floorCome to me, Mary come; you know you once were queenThe ocean is holding all the kings,And tossed aside the wearyThe ocean holding everything,And tossed aside the wearyAw that dreadful, gambling sea
