"Asleep in the Deep" is a song written by Arthur J. Lamb and composed by Henry W. Petrie in 1897. It is titled for a refrain found in its chorus:
- Loudly the bell in the old tower rings,
- Bidding us list to the warning it brings. Sailor, take care! Sailor, take care!
- Danger is near thee. Beware! Beware! Beware! Beware!
- Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep, So beware! beware!
- Many brave hearts are asleep in the deep, So beware! beware!
The phrase asleep in the deep refers to those who have drowned.
