Michael Ward - The Sea Man Demon Lyrics

Here is the tale of a town in a cold and windy bay
And on its fringes lived a wild one, a demon some would say
Every night he'd serenade his love, the girl in Ivy green
And though his temper often scorned, his heart of gold they’d never seen

While The Demon sings through the night
His pages soaked in pearl moonlight
Faith and Family
Draped across his back and he
Sits gazing at his tapestry
And none could see
What was to be

God damn this town, on its cold and windy bay
I don’t know what do with myself, since you left the other day
This seems so unreal,
I know you wont come back
But I cant begin to deal with the fact that
I never got to say goodbye
Don’t you know that
Sometimes even demons cry

And now we all feel so alone
Sitting by our telephones
Traipsing through a foot of snow
Don’t know where to go
And none of us could have known
Cause he hadn’t shown
Why didn’t he let one of us know

God damn this town, on its cold and windy bay
I don’t know what do with myself, since you left the other day
This seems so unreal,
I know you wont come back
But I cant begin to deal with the fact that
I never got to say goodbye
Don’t you know that
Demons aren’t supposed to die
Oh Why

But now its calm in the town by the cold and windy bay
I lift my face up to the clouds and hope I’ll meet with him again
Some day
