Lyrics Haul Away by Grace Petrie

The heart of me is ocean-bound
But I come from a landlocked town
No coasts or caverns to be found
Among the plains and fens
But when the road takes me in reach
Of ocean waters that beseech
Me every time to scour the beach
In search of hidden gems
Along the shore where can be seen
In frosty white, in blue and green
Some days even aquamarine
All from the water thrown
Discarded shards of gla** who all
Werе swept up in this waterfall
And now whose bodiеs so recall
The stories of their own

Haul away, haul away
I'm bound to follow oceans, I know no other way
Haul away, haul away
And make me who I am today
And make me who I am today

Well who amongst us can't relate
To such an ordinary fate
As living in a constant state
Of battling the tide
Who started out a fragile shell
That broke apart each time it fell
That you could see straight through as well
And know what lay inside
Then traded days in pubs and bars
For crashing waves beneath the stars
And storms that gave us battle scars
When best adventure beckoned
Who turned with currents, met with caves
And wandered lost among the waves
And managed to avoid our graves
But sometimes just by seconds
Haul away, haul away
I'm bound to follow oceans, oh I know no other way
Haul away, haul away
And make me who I am today
And make me who I am today

Well blessed are those that understand
We all return back to the sand
We were born from, but bear the brand
Of our suffering and our pleasure
Well now I find that that time and tides
Have worn my edges, smoothed my sides
For tourists who come wandering by
To mistake me for treasure

Haul away, haul away
I'm no kind of opponent for the current or the sway
Haul away, haul away
That made me who I am today
Haul away, haul away
I'm bound to follow oceans, Lord I know no other way
Haul away, haul away
And make me who I am today
And make me who I am today
And make me who I am today
And make me who I am today
