Have you heard about the rules of the ocean?
Have you heard about the lives she takes?
Have you ever seen the grave of a sailor?
He goes down with the ship he's in
And he sleeps right where he lived

On the battlefield many a young man
Draws his last breath fresh air
Between guns and knifes and the smell of hate
He goes down with the war he fights
And he sleeps the soldiers night

Have you heard about the tales of the lover
Who couldn't find a place to rest?
And the hole in his heart wasn't mended
By the number of beds he tried
He went down with no one by his side

Have you heard about the way I love you?
Has the rumor yet reached your ears?
Could it be that my effort are not worth the wait?
Yet I go down with a smile on my face
Cause I had you back in the days
