The Lifeboatman's Wife

The Lifeboatman's Wife

I might have said No

I might have said Please don't go

But that's hardly fair

he needs to be off out there

Fighting the storm

Knowing we're safe and warm

I married a man

A man made for saving lives

And everything's angled

To keep him so close

So close to the sea

So close to the sea

ch

My spare time is taken

To join him so close

So close to the sea

So close to the sea

ch

The children encouraged

To follow so close

So close to the sea

So close to the sea

ch

He'll go to save lives then

He'll come in so close

So close to the sea

So close to the sea

ch

I need him to live and

I need him so close

So close to the sea

So close to the sea

I might have said No

I might have said Please don't go

But that's hardly fair

he needs to be off out there

Fighting the storm

Knowing we're safe and warm

I married a man

A man made for saving lives
