Come About
The stars had lied horizon wide
Tides in tow hailed the ailing sky
Currents crossed and tossed command
As I grappled helm from gout dappled hands
Fate and fortune, wily wind
listen well to bosun's hymn
"I am master, you are mate
I, your pilot, you, my wake"
The stars came right and truely bright
Tides rolled under slumberous night
Currents weaved and teased the moon
Bosun had piped a might righteous tune
Fate and fortune, wily wind
Echo my will... my want... my whim
For I am master, you, are mate
I, your pilot, you, my wake
Tides in tow hailed the ailing sky
Currents crossed and tossed command
As I grappled helm from gout dappled hands
Fate and fortune, wily wind
listen well to bosun's hymn
"I am master, you are mate
I, your pilot, you, my wake"
The stars came right and truely bright
Tides rolled under slumberous night
Currents weaved and teased the moon
Bosun had piped a might righteous tune
Fate and fortune, wily wind
Echo my will... my want... my whim
For I am master, you, are mate
I, your pilot, you, my wake
