The Unforgiving Sea
My love is standing by the shore,
I sometimes wonder if I'll see her ever more.
When the anchor's weighed,
And our path is made,
We'll sail about the sea.
But all the while I'll think of her,
Standing there, waiting for me.
Watch the tide as it rises high,
Then lowers as does my heart.
Leaving the shells high and dry,
It pains me to be apart.
We watch the storm in full blow,
Will we come out alive, we don't know.
I see the main mast as it breaks,
And thinking of her, my heart aches.
Seeing the rock as they smash the prow,
Life before my eyes is flashing now.
I think of my love, is she thinking of me?
Watch the tide as it rises high,
Then lowers as does my heart.
Leaving the shells high and dry,
It pains me to be apart.
The Sea Wolf, our beauty of a ship,
Is crashing into the high cliff's lip.
Wondering if my soul'll live here on,
Though I'll rather it be with her, anon.
The unforgiving sea, lashing at the deck,
The salty water almost to my neck.
Watch the tide as it rises high,
Then lowers as does my heart.
Leaving the shells high and dry,
It pains me to be apart.
No feeling in my legs nor one arm,
But I'm hoping that none shall bring her harm.
The last thing I see is the locket from her,
I wish her to remember me,
The lad that she lost to the sea.
This is not based on one book, but on every book where someone has died at sea. I added the little story line in there to give it some emotion.
