about

Sea Birds is the first song to be released from Luke Williams' new project, Fair Mariner. All of the Fair Mariner songs are works of historical fiction based on Captain Thomas James and his 1631 voyage in search of the Northwest Passage.

lyrics

Voices lost beneath the ocean
Sigh with expectations of their own
Lights deep within the water
Pulse like breath from some great Atlantic lung

Curse this brine, and
God forsake this water
God forsake this ice
I was raised up believing that
God fearing men don't get
Sacrificed
But out here they die

Touch me soft beneath the snowfall
Kiss me hard, and tremble in my arms
Drop off slow like little sea birds
Thinnest air takes breath in heavy blows

Curse this brine, and
God forsake this water
God forsake this ice
I was raised up believing that
God fearing men don't get
Sacrificed
But out here they die

Fall fast and easy down
Beyond the veil, behind the sails
The wind, the sky, the sea,
It's all a little cold for me
