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 bold
Could match our captain's eye
Upon the seventh seasick day
We made our port of call
The sand so white and sea so blue
No mortal place at all
We fired the gun and burned the mast
And rode from ship to shore
The captain cried, we sailors wept
Our tears were tears of joy
Now many moons and many Junes
Have passed since we made land
And the salty dog, the seaman's log
Your witness in my own hand
