Kailyarders - A Mile Straight Down Lyrics

The Captain called the crew said the ships begun to bleed
And the Lookout says there's no land as far as the eye can see
We went from being sailin' men, to being full time bailin' men
'N the water just keeps rising and it's almost to my knees

How close are we to land? - A mile straight down
We're soon to feel the sand, but it's a mile straight down
We're surely going to drown if we don't get to solid ground
We're just a mile from land but it's a mile straight down

The water's damn near at my waist it seems our work's amiss
The Captain's said Keep Bailing! and the ship's begun to list
Our hopes are heav'ly weighing, men and turned us into praying men
Each minute we inch closer into the deep abyss

How close are we to land? - A mile straight down
We're soon to feel the sand, but it's a mile straight down
We're surely going to drown if we don't get to solid ground
We're just a mile from land but it's a mile straight down

The ship's now sinking quickly the ocean's reached the deck
And if I stood upon the bow the water'd be at my neck
The good ship's bell is sounding men, we're turning into drowning men
It won't be long until we're on an underwater wreck

How close are we to land? - A mile straight down
We're soon to feel the sand, but it's a mile straight down
We're surely going to drown if we don't get to solid ground
We're just a mile from land but it's a mile straight down
