Forget Me Not Ship

What can we do with a drunken sailor?
Throw him overboard at the quinceanera
There's plenty of rum aboard this ship
So slurp it down like little fish
Where strong men fight and meek play dice
But no one leaves this ship alive
No sextant knows where the ocean flows

We were born with no money
We were born with no name
We were born as a clean slate
We were born just the same
We're destined for shipwreck
No faith in my skip
We're the wretched survivors
Forget me not ship

Forget me nots planted on the bough
When the storm comes, we'll turn the lights down
Pray the surging tides turn right
Hoping our gardens live through the night
Those little signs of our demise
As temperatures steadily rise
No map can say which way to safe

We'll die with no money
We'll die with no faith
We'll die as a broken plate
We'll die just the same
Tossing seeds in the water
Into shadow we drift
We're the wretched survivors
Forget me not ship
We're the lonely survivors
Forget me not ship

Will they remember us?
Forget me not ship
Will they cast a line?
Forget me not ship
What can we do with a drunken sailor early in the morn
Will they remember us?
Forget me not ship

We're the lonely survivors
Forget me not ship
