Sailing on a silent sea
A cool breeze at our back
Waves breaking on the bow
Blue sky turning black.
Our voyage took a drastic turn
A tempest in the west
A great loud cry of "squall"
Came booming from the nest.
We turned our sails to the wind
Set our course to port
Unfurled our rigging fore and aft
Tied the Helm up short.
Mightily we were tossed about
Like a leaf upon the wind.
Bound we were each to mast
And Helpless there we’re pinned.
Waves washed o’er the deck.
Death stared us in the eye.
Two sailors were swept overboard.
Lightening filled the sky.
Just as it came it went away.
We saw seagulls on the wing
Flying around the coast ahead.
Twas such a tranquil thing.
We dare not take a breath
Until we stepped ashore.
Never shall we sail that sea
Never go there anymore.
