about

This song generally starts the Grand Marais set, and when performed live is even more stripped down, to a solo acoustic guitar. It is also featured on the Live Ballast album--a recording with Erik Sanden and Julia Barbossa Landois.

lyrics

let’s start here now
with a sweeping exaggeration
how i love to lie
cuz it’s not borin’
when you roam
the road is so exciting
out to sea
and you no longer feel like dying

cry sailor cry

and the blue waters doth flow
back into the tearduct from which they were stolen
who cares? who cries?
who finds it boring?
back to sea
you’re alone alone alone but it’s so exciting

cry sailor cry
