I had a woman ship 

I took her overseas 

She left her hull unlocked 

I had to find a dock 

I was a toiler on the sea 

I was a toiler on the sea 

I was a toiler on the sea 

I was a toiler on the sea 



We didn't use cruel words 

To navigate cruel seas 

The wind was biting hard 

At times I had to scream 

I was a toiler on the sea 

I was a toiler on the sea 

I was a toiler on the sea 

I was a toiler on the sea 



And when we reached the land 

We went aground on the rocks 

Became a wreck in the sand 

Became a home for a flock 

We ventured overland 

Fought with the aliens 

The young ones used their hands 

Pointed the way to a flock 

A flock of seagulls! 

A flock of seagulls! 



Then we retraced our steps 

Rebuilt the woman ship 

I took her back up north 

I lost her in the fog 

I was a toiler on the sea 

I was a toiler on the sea 

I was a toiler on the sea 

I was a toiler on the sea 

I was a toiler 

I was a toiler 

I was a toiler 

On the sea 

On the sea 

I was a toiler 

I was a toiler 

On the sea 

I was a toiler 

A toiler 

A toiler
