Fisherman's Tale

[Verse] In the raging waves she drifted far A lost maiden under the stars Her heart was heavy Her spirit weak The storm raged on and killed the meek But a god from above did hear her pleas the god of the sea whom she begged on her knees he took her hand, said raise your head and led her through the woe she dread [Chorus] Lost at sea She found her way by a god who'd never stray give the ferryman his due one day but for now we sing and pray leave her be or let her wander let the sea take all who falter time is gold but love be silver invaluable and always a-shimmer [Verse 2] he led her home to distant shores where many an hour they did labor a long many years did they spend together holding fast through all weather the sea did beat its stony waves but their love too could nothing cave a child a son a daughter many for a life at sea is mighty lonely but nevertheless they all seemed happy until the day that broke so many [Chorus] Lost at sea She found her way by a god who'd never stray give the ferryman his due one day but for now we sing and pray leave her be or let her wander let the sea take all who falter time is gold but love be silver [Verse 3] a day was born in which we morn the god and lady separated though her fate anticipated age does not make gods falter yet a mortals age cannot be altered [Chorus] Lost at sea She found her way by a god who'd never stray give the ferryman his due one day but for now we sing and pray leave her be or let her wander let the sea take all who falter time is gold but love be silver
