Lyrics Jessica Lowndes – In All My Dreams I Drown
Text:
Hello?
Is anyone there?
The ship, it swayed, heave ho, heave ho
On the dark and stormy blue
As he pulled up his trews
«You haven’t slept,» heave ho, he said
«In many suns and moons»
«Oh, I will sleep when we reach shore»
«And pray we get there soon»
He said, «Now hush love, here’s your gown»
«There’s the bed, lantern’s down»
But I don’t want to go to sleep; in all my dreams, I drown
The Captain howled «Heave ho, heave ho»
And tied me up with sheets
«A storm is brewing in the South»
«It’s time you go to sleep»
His berth, it rocks, heave ho, heave ho
The ocean gnashed and moaned
Like Jonah we’ll be swallowed whole
And spat back teeth and bones
He said, «Now hush love, here’s your gown»
«There’s the bed, lantern’s down»
«But I don’t want to go to sleep; in all my dreams, I drown»
«Captain! Captain!
I will do your chores
I will warm your cot at night
And mop your cabin floors
Scold me, hold me
I’ll be yours to keep
Don’t make me go to sleep»
The sky it flashed, heave ho, heave ho
His pillow toed to the brink
The curtains ran between my legs as we began to sink
I closed my eyes, heave ho, heave ho
As the ship was rent and fell
Eddies in the water headed to the mouth of Hell
«Hush now, hush love, here’s your gown»
«There’s the bed, lantern’s down»
«I’m begging you please wake me up
In all my dreams I….»
