a sea chanty for m

And the sailing ship drifts over the darkest green waters
As pods follow carefully so close to her hull
The songs of the Humpback play on the horizon
While Neptune rules all from his throne

They say that the sea knows all but's unwilling
To share what she knows with both sailors and men
So I'll raise up a glass to her sirens and secrets
For the time that she's taken won't come again

Let's lift up our drinks and toast the fair maiden
Let's raise all our voices and shout out her name
Let's sail to the edge of her darkest deep waters
For the time that she's taken won't come again

Bringing out the lure of the Gods of the past and intertwining them with the present, well said...

Be always safe,

Weekends In New England by Linda Alexander

Love, romance, innocence, intrigue, danger, and lust. Life is complicated, and love even more so. Life, and love, can be hazardous to a lady's health. Especially if she's fallen in love with a married pop star.
