Ol’ Samwell

Music & Lyrics:

The seas were calm, the crew stood still
In a gentle summer breeze
No heads were raised, no eyes were dry
Ol’ Samwell lay in peace

Farewell, ol’ Samwell, farewell
Into legend you will sail
Fair winds and following seas, ol’ friend
Farewell, ol’ Samwell, farewell

He’d been sailing on the seven seas
Since Noah built the ark
Now life and time, through wear and tear
Hath stilled ol’ Samwell’s heart

By heart he knew the sailor tales
He knew their every turn
Now angels will be blessed to hear
Ol’ Samwell spinning his yarn

Faretheewell, ol’ Samwell, farewell
Into legend you will sail
Fair winds and following seas, ol’ friend
Farewell, ol’ Samwell, farewell

The evening sky grows dark and sad
The stars have lost their glow
For Samwell won’t be there no more
He’s gone, forever gone

So toll the bell to end his watch
And raise our glasses high
To Samwell, dearly missed by all
We say our last goodbye

Chorus
