Drew Dillon - Sailor's Wild Son

The sun burned a flame
It was hot as could get
He in Ballybay walking
By the shore feet were wet
When a hand pulled him up
To a hard wooden deck
Said 'My love where you been?
As he hard kissed his neck
And oh by the shore he loved one
The Sailor's wild son

They were tangled intwined
In the fathoms by net
They would writhe in the deep
Close as two souls could get
Ropes hoist him high
Like a ladder by rung
He knew words from his mouth
Took him hard by the tongue
And oh by night the dawn sun
And The Sailor's wild son

They changed like the tides
Loved as rough as the waves
He would love him in life
And he'd love by the grave
He came in like the night
He's a day that was done
He knows uncharted seas
He's the fisherman's son
And oh by the shore they were one
The Sailor's wild son

He moved behind him like a wind in his sails
They were two souls in meeting
Now one shadow prevails
He was made for his life
He arrived at his door
Find a shirt on the sand
Carried out by the shore
And oh by the land he lay done
With The Sailor's wild son
