Pirate Lullaby
lyrics & melody by Tonis
12 May 2005 – 9 Jun 2005
Sleep bonnie pirate laddie, while the waves they roll
Sleep bonnie pirate laddie, ocean breezes blow
Feel the ship rock to and fro, hear wind through rigging sigh
The gentle ocean sounds below, a pirate lullaby
Storms rise upon the seas as clouds darken up high
See the sails begin to stretch as winds fall from the sky
Waves roll and toss the ship roughly from side to side
Taste the salt upon your lips from the fury of the tide
Grab the hatches, batten down as waves they crest the bow
Main sail furl, secure the deck else every man might drown
Drop the anchor, ride the storm, and pray with all your might
Feel thunder clap and racing heart as you struggle for your life
<Middle Chorus>
Storm doth wane and fade away as clouds drift off with sighs
See on high, the azure hue, of gentle soft blue skies
Waves fall and calm goes all, the sea now lightly rolls
Taste the tang of sea and sweat, as salt winds gently blow
Grasp the ropes and hoist the sails it’s back to port your bound
The main sail billows large and full, soon you’ll be on dry ground
Weigh the anchor, spin the wheel, this day o’er nature win
Feel spray of sea, the ocean’s kiss, you’re on your way again
<Final Chorus>
