Just looking into the waves...

An Old Sailor’s Time

By: Fee

 

 

Oh the sea-wind will capture my spirit

The waves froth will wash these old bones

The seagulls will sing me a sweet hymn

To the soft music of old timber groans

 

The mermaids will carry home my body

To the depths of the sea I so love

I’ll rest forever on a bed of wild seaweed

Oblivious to the wild world above

 

The small fish may tickle me whiskers

Now and then if they care for a bite

I won’t mind for I’ll sing a sea shanty

To lull me to eternal sleep every night

 

So let the fiddle play a slow tune

Drop that red white flag to half mast

I lived a good life with no regrets

I have come a long way from my past…

Is this set to music? If not, it should be, it rolls along like an old sea song sung by sailors...

Although being an old sailor those mermaids of yours hare gonna to wait a hell of a long time before they can caryy m'body to whatever place you are calling home as long as my blood gets its daily ration of rum. But time? old pirates don't give a cooper coin for it.
