        And no one left alive

Verse 2:

        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

Verse 3:

        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

[repeat string/piano break; end on 
Db-5 w/seagulls]
