Home Of The Whale

Home Of The Whale - Massive Attack (大舉進攻)

Oh my love he works upon the sea

On the waves that blow wild and free

He splices the ropes and he sets the sail

While southwards he roams

Ro the home of the whale

And he ne'er thinks of me far behind

Or the torments that rage in my mind

He is mine for only part of the year

Then I'm left all alone

With only my tears

All ye ladies that smell of white rose

Thank ye for your perfume to wear on my gold

Thank ye all the wives and the babies that yearn

For the man never returns

From hunting the sperm

Oh my love he works upon the sea

On the waves that blow wild and free

He splices the ropes and he sets the sail

While southwards he roams

To the home of the whale
