The Sailor’s Wife, alone one night | |
In slumber as she bathes | |
She dreams of ships her sailor’s lip | |
Against the ocean waves | |
The sailor’s wife was pale and white | |
Beauty near divine | |
‘Oh how the sea has stolen thee’ | |
She drinks, she waits, she cries | |
Life is but a dream | |
The sailor knows that waves will grow | |
When all is not content | |
The sky grows dark, a lightening spark | |
A message must be sent | |
He shouts down to the sorry crew | |
‘The sky’s no longer blue | |
A storm is come to claim someone | |
So pray it is not you’ | |
Life is but a dream | |
The sailor’s wife had bare a life | |
Before she slipped and fell | |
Her back was broke, and as she soaks | |
She cannot cry for help | |
The sailor clings to ropes and things | |
He won’t survive for long | |
Then crashing down upon his crown | |
A final, parting song | |
Both of them sinking as death pulls the plug | |
One in the ocean and one in the tub | |
The water’s running | |
The storm is coming | |
The sailor is drowning, drowning | |
Life is but a dream |
The Sailor' s Wife, alone one night | |
In slumber as she bathes | |
She dreams of ships her sailor' s lip | |
Against the ocean waves | |
The sailor' s wife was pale and white | |
Beauty near divine | |
' Oh how the sea has stolen thee' | |
She drinks, she waits, she cries | |
Life is but a dream | |
The sailor knows that waves will grow | |
When all is not content | |
The sky grows dark, a lightening spark | |
A message must be sent | |
He shouts down to the sorry crew | |
' The sky' s no longer blue | |
A storm is come to claim someone | |
So pray it is not you' | |
Life is but a dream | |
The sailor' s wife had bare a life | |
Before she slipped and fell | |
Her back was broke, and as she soaks | |
She cannot cry for help | |
The sailor clings to ropes and things | |
He won' t survive for long | |
Then crashing down upon his crown | |
A final, parting song | |
Both of them sinking as death pulls the plug | |
One in the ocean and one in the tub | |
The water' s running | |
The storm is coming | |
The sailor is drowning, drowning | |
Life is but a dream |
