lyrics

The door swings both ways between life & death
But for all my pleas, they‘aint been answered yet
We’ll keep on the course and head home to the shore
And the Bonney Upwelling will keep us from the door

And it’s all the way,
we’ll Haul away,
all the way from Old England
The seas are our lives and we’d hold hope for more,
and the Bonney Upwelling will keep us from the door

The Spring-summer winds blow in from the south-east
creeping cold-canyoned water upward to the beasts
The surface it gleams with the green-upwelled blooms
And the pygmy-blue whales will then rise from the gloom

And it’s all the way,
we’ll Haul away,
all the way from Old England
The seas are our lives and we’d hold hope for more,
and the Bonney Upwelling will keep us from the door

We travel on waves and sail on for days, though nobody knows where we lie when we go,
There must be a place somewhere under the waves, where old Neptune groans at the way we go on...
