about

To die would be an awfully big adventure!

lyrics

The captain's calm
Steady at the brig
Says, "Bottoms up"
And lets it sink
Stumbles down to a sailor's grave
Stumbles through
Don't want to float away

Turns to the crew
Stubble on his face
Rum readied right
Reason replaced
Feeling lost
And this old fool
Has sealed our fate

If we die...
No! Everything's gonna be fine fine fine fine
We'll pull on through
We'd say
That it'll be okay

You tucked her in
You'd play her games
She'd pull your hair
You'd ease her pains
You were the king of bedside stories
At her bed your here again

You strike a deal
Help from above
Not a holy man
But heard he was love
How could you endure to outlive your child?
How could you go on?

The doctor says
Everything's gonna be fine fine fine fine
She'll pull on through
He says

That it'll be okay...
It's fair to say
That a little fortune it finds us all

You've seen the world
You've seen it changed
You've lived your life
Time to be replaced
As the little ones make their way
On the same journey

You suck it in
You crack a laugh
They say that death's just another path
It's one we all must take
You can't run away
