A TASTE OF NEPTUNE ====== SUNG BY ROSE
On the day we sailed for England
It was cold and windy gray
All the gulls had taken shelter
When the lines were castaway
All our faces seemed much older
Than the men we'd come to know
So we swore beneath our skins
As we watched the tempest grow
We all cursed the Captain's Judgement
As we bent to do our chores
All the Older hands swapped stories
Of the storms they'd seen before
All the cabin-boys went hiding
As the ship began to toss
Thirty-seven hearts were pounding
And the bo's'n* clutched his cross * ==> bo's'n = boatswain
BRIDGE;
Hands of the stormy sea
Reach deep inside of me
Open a part of me
I have never known
Lord of the sea
I'm a toy in your hands
A boy from the land
Naked I stand
Oh, please let me be
In your massive domain
I've trespassed again
Oh, please understand
From deep and peaceful slumber
I awoke to find the dawn
All the winds had died to breezes
All the mountain waves were gone
I'd a bruise upon my forehead
And a gash across my arm
We'd survived our taste of neptune
For the ship remained unharmed
REPRISE;
Toy in your hands
Boy from the land
Oh, let me be
naked I stand
Please understand
Oh, let me be.
