SARAH BRIGHTMAN lyrics : "A Salty Dog"

All hands on deck
We've run afloat
I heard the captain cry

Explore the ship
Replace the cook
Let no one leave alive

Across the straits
Around the horn
How far can sailors fly

A twisted path
Our tortured course
And no one left alive


We sailed for parts
Unknown to man

Where ships come home to die
No lofty peak
Nor fortress hold

Could match our captain's eye

Upon the seventh sea sick day

We made our port of call
A sand so white
And seas so blue

No mortal place at all

We fired the gun

And burned the mast
And rowed from ship to shore
The captain cried

We sailors wept
Our tears were tears of joy
How many moons

And many Junes
Have passed since we made land
A salty dog

The seaman's log
Your witness, my own hand
