    Story Behind the Song
    A classic song of nostalgia for the hard life sailing on the old tall ships. When I had started collecting & writing sea chantey material; a crusty old friend of the family's directed me to the work of this honoured British Poet Laureate. My take on the music was pretty spontaneous; but, Ed contributed a nice bit, that i was happy to include.

    Lyrics
    SEA FEVER

    I MUST DOWN TO THE SEA AGIN
    LONELY SEA & THE SKY...
    ALL I ASK IS A TALL SHIP
    STAR TO STEER HER BY...
    WHEEL’S KICK & THE WIND SONG
    WHITE SAIL’S SHAKIN'...
    GREY MIST ON THE SEA FACE
    AND A GREY DAWN BREAKIN'...
    I MUST DOWN TO THE SEA AGIN
    CALL OF THE RUNNIN' TIDE…
    WILD CALL & A CLEAR CALL
    MAY NOT BE DENIED…
    ALL I ASK IS A WINDY DAY
    WHITE CLOUDS FLYIN'…
    FLUNG SPRAY & THE BLOWN SPUME
    AND THE SEA-GULLS CRYIN'…
    I MUST DOWN TO THE SEA AGIN
    VAGRANT GYPSY LIFE…
    GULL’S WAY & THE WHALE’S WAY
    WIND LIKE A WHETTED KNIFE…
    ALL I ASK IS A MERRY YARN
    FROM LAUGHIN' FELLOW-ROVER…
    QUIET SLEEP & A SWEET DREAM
    WHEN THE LONG TRICK’S OVER…
