On Board

I don't need no shore leave
 'Cause feet fixed, I still sway to the sea's heave
 Don't need to be wrung out or hung out to dry
 I know how the lands lie
 And if you came on board
 I know you'd scan for the safety of a lighthouse blink
 Any port in a storm, love
 You promise you won't falter
 But I know I've seen men sink
 So you should get on board
 With someone whose course is steadier than mine
 You should get on board
 With someone whose eyes are on the horizon
 Not on the skies
 On board with someone
 Whose anchor is heavier than mine
 You should get on board
 Haaaaa
 'Cause I'm a flotsam jetsam mess
 A drunken sailor in a dress
 And fifty fathoms deep no less when my heart's at sea
 And if you came on board
 I know you'd tire of the tossing of my seabed
 And forget what I said
 Ships were not built to be safe, no, no, no
 So you should get on board
 With someone whose course is steadier than mine
 You should get on board
 With someone whose eyes are on the horizon
 Not on the skies
 On board with someone
 Whose anchor is heavier than mine
 You should get on board
 Haaaaa
 Well, I've weathered worse storms
 Than the one, the one you've been
 Brewin' up in your mind
 I've weathered worse storms
 Lord knows, he knows I've been sailin'
 For an awfully long time
 Worse storms than all your fair-weather friends
 And your shipmates combined
 Tie up those lines
 'Cause I shot the albatross
 And I will swim across
 The old man and the sea has nothin' on me
 'Cause this love is steady
 Truer than North
 Now you take that on board
 You take that on board
 No, you should get on board
 With someone whose course is steadier than mine
 (I've weathered worse storms)
 You should get on board
 With someone whose eyes are on the horizon
 Not on the skies
 (I've sailed at sea)
 On board with someone
 Whose anchor is heavier than mine
 (I've sailed at sea)
 You should get on board
 (Waiting for thee)
 I'll be the figurehead
 On your ship's bow
 I'll be the last glimpse of a topsail
 As we go down
 I'll be waiting on the seabed
 Repeating the words
 (You said)
 Don't forget, ships were not built to be safe
 And in all my life's mistakes
 You were not one
 'Cause all I've ever done
 All I've ever done
 Is love you
 To the bottom of the deep blue sea
