[Sting:]
16 fathoms down
Where my ship is bound
Another drop in the ocean
16 fathoms down
She said, "Sailor man, believe me
I stand on solid ground
You say your plan is to leave me
And sail out from this town
You know prophecy runs in my family
I know where your ship is bound
One day you're going to find yourself
16 fathoms down."
16 fathoms down
Where my soul is bound
Another drop in the ocean
16 fathoms down
I didn't pay no mind to her
I just turned around
My ship lies out in the harbor
I sail out from this town
My thoughts become uneasy
Her words keep turning 'round
I pray that I won't find myself
16 fathoms down
16 fathoms down
