Shams |
| Ali was a sailor’s son |
| Joined the merchant fleet at twenty-one |
| Dreams of ports in distant lands |
| A bag of figs and some low-grade heroin |
| As the years rolled by at sea |
| Ali thought about his destiny |
| Tired of the sailor’s life |
| Ali thought he’d find himself a wife |
| Lisbon, Guangzhou, Taipei, Bandung |
| Naples, Brunei, Capetown, Shanghai |
| Bangkok, Pusan, Dublin, Luzon |
| Lima, Dakar, Cypress, Malta |
| Sometimes things aren’t what they seem |
| Late one night our sailor had a dream |
| A queen of Indonesian lore |
| A voice he’d loved a thousand years or more |
| Lisbon, Guangzhou, Taipei, Bandung |
| Naples, Brunei, Capetown, Shanghai |
| Bangkok, Pusan, Dublin, Luzon |
| Lima, Dakar, Cypress, Malta |
| When the typhoon struck at dawn |
| Ali had his finest civvies on |
| All the crew were cramped below |
| And with a smile into the sea he dove |
| Lisbon, Guangzhou, Taipei, Bandung |
| Naples, Brunei, Capetown, Shanghai |
| Bangkok, Pusan, Dublin, Luzon |
| Lima, Dakar, Cypress, Malta |
