Tekst piosenki 'On Board' wykonawcy Alana Henderson

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

'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

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 stare at stars
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
