Trafalgar from Muffled Tears by Greg Eklund

TRAFALGAR

ON A BLOOD RED DECK
HORRATIO RAISED HIS FLAGS
THAT SAID EVERY MAN
IS EXPECTED TO DO THEIR DUTY
SOME GAVE MORE THAN OTHERS
OR SO IT WAS SAID
DROWNED WITHIN DEPTHS
OF A SOFT SOFT TEARED WHISKEY

NOW THE MERMAIDS HAVE COME ASHORE
TO SING AGAIN
LURING ME BACK TO THE TIGHT LIPPED ROCKS
THAT ALWAYS DESTROY ME
AND WHERE A SIREN’S SONG MARKS A SHALLOW SAILOR’S GRAVE
THERE FLIES THE FLAG OF THE GALLANT JOHN BELAY

AND WHEN A TRUE WEST WEST DOES BLOW
I KNOW YOU’LL SET SAIL AND GO
AND LEAVE ME DROWNING
DROWNING
YOU’LL LEAVE ME

NOW THOSE WHO KNOW LESS
KNOW MORE THAN THEY’LL EVER TELL ME
ARMADA’S ARE BOUGHT
KINGDOMS LOST AT LEAST TWICE DAILY
SO WHEN THE JOURNEY’S END
SEEMS A MILLION MILES AWAY
MAY THE WIND FILL OUR SAILS
FAR FROM THE WRECK OF JOHN BELAY

AND IN YOUR MIGHTY CANNONS ROAR
I WATCHED YOU STEP OUT THE DOOR
AND LEAVE ME DROWNING
DROWNING
YOU LEAVE ME

(INSTRUMENTAL)

ON A BLOODIED DECK
HORRATIO’S LAST BREATH SLIPPED AWAY
AND WHEN ONE MAN FALLS
CAN ANOTHER MAN TRULY BE SAVED
A HERO CAME HOME BURIED DEEP WITHIN STONE TODAY
NO MORE TO RAISE SAIL AND GIVE CHASE TO JOHN BELAY
AND WHEN A TRUE WEST WIND DID BLOW
I HELD ON AND NEVER LET GO
NO MORE AM I DROWNING
DROWNING
NO MORE
