She wasn't young she wasn't old

She was simply the most beautiful woman he had ever seen



The captain's hands

They never held another woman again



He was always seen carrying a bag

A bag of bones, a dusty beer

And the faded outline of a tatooed tear

And the faded outline of a tatooed tear



Sometimes the moonlight spills across the ocean

And it reminds him of his lover's hair

But then sometimes

The ocean surrounds him

Wraps her arms around him

And tries to drag him down

Amongst the treasures that still remain there

When the night is full



You can hear him sing

This song



Gone gone those days are gone

They're bound to time and they keep draggin on

I gave you my best and now that's gone

And what I got left you couldn't lean on

Gone gone those days are gone

Gone gone gone

And so on...
