from the movie, "Waking Ned Devine"
All I ask is the sun on my face and a wave to hold my footsteps
For my eyes to see the fish in the net and a gentle breeze to bathe my head
On land I fill myself up with the drink and sway as if Im the ocean
I sleep in the cove on top of a rock as the waves go racing through my dreams
Im feeling the swell of the sea in my heart and the taste of salt in my blood
Ive blessed the life that keeps well at bay and the worries of my fellows
If the sea was to swallow me whole into the deed tomorrow
Id step out and dive into her arms with thanks for a life so mellow
If ever you go to a man who was dead and if ever you need his help
Be sure to whisper the name Devine and hell share with you his wealth
His soul is raging at Heavens door, he had a sad old climb
But his heart is mighty raised, your spirits of Ned Devine
And as I lay in Tullymore Bay, my dinner on my knee
My lucky stars were in my eyes, so bright I couldnt take anymore
They said that the sea would bring to me the ending of my story
Now I find I to die ashore before my time of glory
He missed the ______ ladies, his chicken meal went cold
He missed the chance to dream a while of places hed never go
Hed have given gifts of ribbon and silk done up in bow
Hed have kept his door wide open for friends both young and old
If ever you go to a man who was dead and if ever you need his help
Be sure to whisper the name Devine and hell share with you his wealth
His soul is raging at Heavens door, he had a sad old climb
But his heart is mighty raised, your spirits of Ned Devine
I think you should get into something else, are you good at sports?.
