The Sailor's Wife |
| 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 |
