lost aboard
this ship
and still undiscovered
since
that ill-fated trip.
They have searched
for over a century
but the theory was always grim
that we sank
beyond the depths
where the fish never swim.
I had left behind
my wife
and a fatherless child unborn.
To this very day
my heart
is forever torn.
In a place of impenetrable darkness
with thoughts of her
above
the only light
that shines and haunts me
is the memory of our love.
In the bony hand of this captain
lays the brightest jewel
of all.
It was the locket I gave my darling
on the night
of the Sweetheart's Ball.
We waltzed until the sunrise
and you agreed to walk
by my side
and we will waltz again
when you meet me
here on the other side.
In the bony hand of this captain
lays the brightest jewel
of all.
It was the locket I gave my darling
on the night
of the Sweetheart's Ball.
