To cross the wide sea I deserted,
|
From the shore I did fly.
|
I thought it time that I travelled,
|
So I took to the roads of the sky.
|
|
It was late and the wind it did gently blow,
|
Oh the night it was calm.
|
I saw the flower of the ocean
|
And the universe did me noo harm,
|
It said to fly on.
|
|
The sea captain he loved the ocean,
|
But his ship was on fire.
|
His hands they did stretch out before him,
|
For to take one of many desires,
|
But there was no time.
|
|
Across the wide sea he departed,
|
From the ship he did fly.
|
He thought it time that he travelled
|
And I saw him as he passed by,
|
And I saw him as he passed by.
