LYRICS
VERSES:
The man is dead
Bury him at sea
Far away from the trouble
The man is dead
Bury him at sea
Far away from the shore
CHORUS:
And as it drags him under
I'll throw buckets of your tears
And then you'll surround him
Your wet arms around him
The man is dead
Bury him at sea
Far away from the trouble
CHORUS:
And then he was spared us
Tears of joy
We fall on our knees with thanking
