lyrics

the morn is still and quiet,
the morn is still and blue
oh the morn is a peaceful tide,
I take a breath and let it drift for you
across the northern seas…

But I still hold my breath at night,
I still hold the warm breath inside my lungs
for I have hauled my captain’s net up high
I have hauled you up by the hairs of your head
all across the northern most seas

and deep below there comes a winnow
oh deep below comes an ancient and weary groan
it stirs up the worms!
the worms in the deep sea bed
oh the deep sea bed,
bed!

well I was on my knees alright
I was on my coloured and callused knees
as they took you down into a warmin’ light
but they took you down to the bullhooks and let you bleed
across the northern seas

deep below there comes a winnow
deep below comes an ancient and weary groan
it stirs up the worms!
the worms in the deep sea bed
oh the deep sea bed,
bed!
