Chris de Burgh - The Storm songtekst

Je score:

Now the time had come for Elzevir and John
To be sent from Holland's shore
And to end their days in pain and misery
To be slaves so far from home

Oh – how sweet the salt sea air
Oh – how bright the sun
Oh – but little did they know of the storm that was to come
And the ship that would go down

Hey boys and listen well and a story I will tell
Send for the prisoners down below (down below!)
Hey boys and wish ‘em well and the fate that them befell
And pray that you will never see the day
You'll fight for your life on Moonfleet Bay!

Well, the storm hit hard and the waves were high
It was every man for himself
By a twist of Fate 'twas on Moonfleet Bay
Where the ship would meet its end

Oh – with a roar of wind and sail
Oh – the ship was gone
Oh – in the night, they saw a light
'Twas the candle Grace had shone
And her boy was coming home

Hey boys the ship is down
Every man must swim or drown
Head for the breakers on the shore (on the shore!)
Hey boys for Elzevir, he put John in Fortune's care
For no man ever was there 'til that day
Saved from the sea on Moonfleet Bay!

“What shall we do with the boy who's drowning?
What shall we do with the boy who's drowning?
What shall we do with the boy who's drowning early in the morning?”

"Throw him a rope and God go with him
Throw him a rope and God go with him
Throw him a rope and God go with him, early in the morning?"

And Elzevir, he gave his life away
For John was the only man that day
Saved from the sea on Moonfleet Bay!
