Lyrics:
Great Big Sea Sea Of No Cares

Oh Gideon lived across the bay He's gettin' older now His boat is big and strong and bold She has a stalward bow But my father's boat was second hand

It's of a bold young smuggler From Fortune he did sail He rode the waves from St. Pierre And never saw the jail He filled her up with contraband Perfume

true way We loved, we fought We rocked and we tumbled In our own true way I don't mind It's hard to be from a rock in the sea Livin' in a big, steel

Penelope works in the market Down in the coconut trees She's saving up all her money To go to America across the sea She once had an uncle He lived in

Waiting for the nightingale to sing Waiting for the harbour lights to dim I've been on the outside lookin' in While the widow in the window waits for

You left in the morning, you left without a word Did you get what you came for? Is this what I deserve? All I know is the silence was the loudest thing

truth is they're just afraid [Chorus] Hey somewhere, you threw your fear in the Sea of No Cares Hey somewhere, you threw your fear in the Sea of No Cares

Translation: Great Big Sea. Sea Of No Cares.

Sailor' were the words she did cry [Chorus] I'll give you farewell love on a fine summer's breeze But love don't forget me when you're crossing the sea
