The Longest Johns - Dying Of The Day Lyrics

The Longest Johns Lyrics

"Dying Of The Day"

As my feet forever fail me, and my eyes can't guide my way
Let me sail forever westward to the dying of the day
Let me sail forever westward to the dying of the day

So set the sails for western England
Though she pleads me, I would not stay
Two-hundred men are sailin' with me
West of England, into the day

If I would seek a sailor's ransom, Heaven's treasures tend to wait
For good King George, under his shilling, to the dying of the day
Of good King George, under his shilling, to the dying of the day

So set the sails for western England
Though she pleads me, I would not stay
Two-hundred men are sailin' with me
West of England, into the day

As the cords of death surround me, tangled limbs are earthly weighed
I would escape forever westward, to the dying of the day
I shall escape forever westward, to the dying of the day

So set the sails for western England
Though she pleads me, I would not stay
Two-hundred men are sailin' with me
West of England, into the day
