BEFORE THE ARCHITECT – AUTOCAD GRANDDAD – SONG LYRICS
. . . . . . .
A SEAFARER'S REQUIEM
LYRICS BY RALPH PRESSEL
© 1989 RALPH PRESSEL
Stanza #1:
Mate! Time has come to pass the hot rum
With tales 'bout me and you.
Lifetimes near spent, lifelines soon rent,
'Cross vast lonely oceans of blue.
Stanza #2:
How sure I'd been then to voyage again.
Salt spray to face, so keen.
Yearnings divide. Cruel mistress to ride
'Cross vast lonely oceans of green.
Stanza #3:
Mystery chained to nature untamed.
I passed through gates of dread.
No message freed. A man's lonely deed
'Cross vast lonely oceans of red.
Stanza #4:
My body turns stone to feel how alone
We both were to wait that day —
Homeward bound race, desperate embrace
'Cross vast lone oceans of grey.
Stanza #5:
Endings tell lies to shadow-lit eyes.
No sailing chest to pack.
Soft lock of hair, last moment to share
'Cross vast lonely oceans of black.
Stanza #6:
Still, forevermore, as we lose sight of shore,
To sail the darkest night.
No way I would be without your company
'Cross vast lonely oceans of white.
