I saw three ships a-sailing in from across the sea
|
Strangers ne'er were welcome but for curiosity
|
But come they did and when they did ready they did stand
|
And things would never be the same in our Village on the Sand...
|
|
When the ships pulled in to dock the villagers did hide
|
When trouble came it usually was brought upon the tide
|
When the pirates disembarked they were making plans
|
And from then on things were not the same in our Village on the Sand...
|
|
The smugglers came into our town and many sought to run
|
I stood my ground bravely and came face to face with one
|
Time and travel on the seas weathered face and hand
|
He was different than the others in my Village on the Sand...
|
|
He told me of the years he'd spent on the stormy seas
|
Then he spoke a poet's words of philosophy
|
And when he had to leave again he asked me for my hand
|
And I knew I'd never see again my Village on the Sand...
