I’ve been howling

When your sea’s been rough
You’ve been fumbling and tumbling
You’ve been struck down
By thunder and lightning
Your hands are tough from pulling on the ropes
That tie this ship together
Now it's hanging off of hope

I'm an old salt dog
Old salt dog

I’ve been howling
Howling for you

Patching up your sails
Heading into the breeze
To find a little island with calmer seas
Living off the fruit
Of a dedication tree
Sleeping under stars wrapped inside a green palm leaf

For you my love I’ve been howling all through night
For you my dear could have put up more of a fight
