I'm begging you, please wake me up
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown

The ship, it swayed, heave-ho heave-ho
On the dark and stormy blue
And I held tight to the captain's might
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
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 rocked, 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, lanterns down
But I don't wanna go to sleep
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
The sky, it flashed, heave-ho heave-ho
His pillow dulled 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 felled
Eddies in the water headed to the mouth of Hell

He said now hush love, here's your gown
There's the bed, lanterns down
But I don't wanna go to sleep
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
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
The only thing I beg of you
Don't make me go to sleep
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
In all my dreams I drown
