Island Sky
I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky
And all I ask is to embark again on the good ship Island Sky.
For this is a ship where the food is good and the wine flows free
And there is no other ship on which I would rather be.
I must go down to the seas again, for the call of a marine cruise
Is a call to visit new places along with lots of booze,
And all I ask is new friends to meet and new stories to hear
And good times to have shared when journey’s end is near.
I must go down to the seas again, while my body still has life,
There to sail away from life’s travail and all its trouble and strife,
And all I ask is good shipmates and laughter and lots of fun
And good memories to take home when the cruise is finally done.
