[Verse 1]
(Run away, run away, run away, run a)
A song I heard the ocean sing
(Run away, run away, run away, run a)
A shining light in darkness deep
(Run away, run away, run away, run a)
I prayed a prayer into the tide
(Run away, run away, run away, run a)
And both they soothed me in my sleep

[Chorus 1]
For every season that has passed
I prayed a prayer into the tide (sleep)
A shining light in darkness deep (sleep)
In my ten years before the mast

[Verse 2]
(Run away, run away, run away, run a)
For every season that has passed
(Run away, run away, run away, run a)
I laid my body o'er the side
(Run away, run away, run away, run a)
A shining light in darkness deep
(Run away, run away, run away, run a)
I prayed a prayer into the tide
[Chorus 2]
How can I answer questions I've known? (tide)
How can I answer questions I've known? (tide)
How can I answer questions I've known? (tide)
How can I answer questions I've known? (tide)

[Verse 3]
(Run away, run away, run away, run a)
A song I heard the ocean sing
(Run away, run away, run away, run a)
A shining light in darkness deep
(Run away, run away, run away, run a)
Ten years before the mast
(Run away, run away, run away, run a)
I heard the ocean sing
