A TASTE OF NEPTUNE ====== SUNG BY ROSE
|
|
On the day we sailed for England
|
It was cold and windy gray
|
All the gulls had taken shelter
|
When the lines were castaway
|
All our faces seemed much older
|
Than the men we'd come to know
|
So we swore beneath our skins
|
As we watched the tempest grow
|
|
We all cursed the Captain's Judgement
|
As we bent to do our chores
|
All the Older hands swapped stories
|
Of the storms they'd seen before
|
All the cabin-boys went hiding
|
As the ship began to toss
|
Thirty-seven hearts were pounding
|
And the bo's'n* clutched his cross * ==> bo's'n = boatswain
|
|
BRIDGE;
|
Hands of the stormy sea
|
Reach deep inside of me
|
Open a part of me
|
I have never known
|
Lord of the sea
|
I'm a toy in your hands
|
A boy from the land
|
Naked I stand
|
Oh, please let me be
|
In your massive domain
|
I've trespassed again
|
Oh, please understand
|
From deep and peaceful slumber
|
I awoke to find the dawn
|
All the winds had died to breezes
|
All the mountain waves were gone
|
I'd a bruise upon my forehead
|
And a gash across my arm
|
We'd survived our taste of neptune
|
For the ship remained unharmed
|
|
REPRISE;
|
Toy in your hands
|
Boy from the land
|
Oh, let me be
|
naked I stand
|
Please understand
|
Oh, let me be.
