Song | The Dark and the Rolling Sea |
Artist | Al Stewart |
Album | Modern Times |
作词 : Stewart | |
Oh you slipped away from the harbour side | |
In the morning bright and clear | |
And your sails were filled with the rising wind | |
And you laughed for all to hear | |
But you never glanced at the ragged dance | |
Of your lovers on the quay | |
Don't call on them when the winds rise high | |
On the dark and the rolling sea | |
Oh you set your course for the furthest shores | |
And you never once looked back | |
And the flag you flew was a pirate cross | |
On a field of velvet black | |
And those landsmen who you but lately knew | |
Were left stranded on the lea | |
Don't call on them when the storm clouds rise | |
On the dark and the rolling sea | |
Oh I have no need of a chart or creed | |
You told your waiting crew | |
For the winds of chance, they will bear us straight | |
And you spoke as though you knew | |
So you paid no mind to the warning signs | |
As you gave your words so free | |
Don't change your tack when the timbers crack | |
On the dark and the rolling sea | |
Now the thunder rails in the great mainsails | |
And the stars desert the skies | |
And the rigging strains as the hands of rain | |
Reach down to wash your eyes | |
And your oarsmen stands with his knife in hand | |
And his eyes spell mutiny | |
Don't call my name when your ship goes down | |
On the dark and the rolling sea |
