ARMS OF THE SEA

We were walking past the Cooper Church graveyard
Laughing out loud, telling jokes about our lost and departed
We all know who's caring for our lost and dear family
Across from the church stands what's left of the Old North Pier
There are footsteps on her planks and voices laughing with us
We all know who's caring for our lost and dear family
Since their boat dissapeared into the arms of the sea
Some nights the steeple points to Orion's Belt
Some nights we go drinking down at Molly's Well
Tonight we're holding hands, without fear
Our family is right here
We looked out past the pier as the moon's light came on
Saw the mast of a ship as it dipped beyong the horizon
We all know who's caring for our lost and dear family
Since their boat dissapeared into the arms of the sea
Some nights the steeple points to Orion's Belt
Some nights we go drinking down at Molly's Well
Tonight we're holding hands, without fear
Our family is right here
We were walking past the Cooper Church graveyard
