Whiskey is the life of man
Always was since the world began
Whiskey-o, Johnny-o
John rise her up from down below
Whiskey, whiskey, whiskey-o
Up aloft this yard must go
John rise her up from down below
Whiskey here, whiskey there
Whiskey almost everywhere
Watermark, released in September 1988, features Enya's first major hit, Orinoco Flow (aka 'Sail Away') and was Enya's breakthrough album release, being considered a seminal example of New Age music (although Enya herself does not consider her work to be of that genre).
Whiskey up and whiskey down
Whiskey all around the town
Whiskey killed me poor old dad
Whiskey drove me mother mad
My wife and I do not agree
She puts whiskey in her tea
I had a girl and her name was Lize
She puts whiskey in her pies
Oh whiskey straight, and whiskey strong
Give me some whiskey and I'll sing you a song
If whiskey comes too near my nose
I tip it up and down she goes
Some likes whiskey, some likes beer
I wisht I had a barrel here
Whiskey made me pawn me clothes
Whiskey gave me this broken nose
Oh the mate likes whiskey, the skipper likes rum
The sailors like both but me can't get none
Whiskey is the life of man
Whiskey from that old tin can
I thought I heard the first mate say
I treats me crew in a decent way
If whiskey was a river and I could swim
I'd say here goes and dive right in
If whiskey was a river and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom and never come up
I wisht I knew where whiskey grew
I'd eat the leaves and the branches too
A tot of whiskey all around
And a bottle full for the shanty man

we`ve been sweethearts for so long
but now you say we`re through,
the love we shared is now a memory.
i had built a ship of dreams
and planned them all for you,
and now,
i guess,
what is to be will be.
i`ll sail my ship alone
with all the dreams i own,
drifting out across the ocean blue.
i`ll sail my ship alone,
though all the sails you`ve torn,
and when it starts to sink
then i`ll blame you.

i`m just like a ship at sea
that`s lost without a sail,
the dark clouds hide the sun from up above.
and even with these broken dreams
my heart will never fail,
for deep inside there`s only one true love.
i`ll sail my ship alone
with all the dreams i own,
drifting out across the ocean blue.
i`ll sail my ship alone,
though all the sails you`ve torn,
and when it starts to sink
then i`ll blame you.

gave a message to the wind
to take back home to you,
hoping you would hear my s.o.s.
maybe you would come back home,
my darling,
if you knew how much my aching heart
is in distress.
i`ll sail my ship alone
with all the dreams i own,
drifting out across the ocean blue.
i`ll sail my ship alone,
though all the sails you`ve torn,
and when it starts to sink
then i`ll blame you.
