Float above the graveyard, where lost souls do sleep
Souls of those poor sailors lost so far at sea
I can hear their voices, calling out to me

Water ebbs and flows, waves rise and then they fall
Sea gull's swoop above, they are echoing the call
Listening to their sorrow on this dark and stormy day
I kneel down upon the deck and then begin to pray

Thunder is a crashing, lightning all around
Spirit's of the dead rise in an answer to this sound
Feeling of such sadness, sorrow it abounds
Prayers of the lost now, waiting to be found

Calming of the waters, dimly shines the light
Far into the distance, gleams something so bright
Shimmers on the waters, moonlight out to play
Multitude of colours, takes away the grey

Coldness is dispelling, warmth is every where
Peace fullness, contentment, answer to a prayer
Spirits now ascending, out stretched to their goal
Reaching out with wonder, to Saviour of all souls

Sailing on the ocean, dark and very deep
Float above the graveyard, where lost souls do sleep
Souls of those poor sailors lost so far at sea
I can hear their voices, calling out to me

Water ebbs and flows, waves rise and then they fall
Sea gull's swoop above, they are echoing the call
Listening to their sorrow on this dark and stormy day
I kneel down upon the deck and then begin to pray

Thunder is a crashing, lightning all around
Spirit's of the dead rise in an answer to this sound
Feeling of such sadness, sorrow it abounds
Prayers of the lost now, waiting to be found

Calming of the waters, dimly shines the light
Far into the distance, gleams something so bright
Shimmers on the waters, moonlight out to play
Multitude of colours, takes away the grey

Coldness is dispelling, warmth is every where
Peace fullness, contentment, answer to a prayer
Spirits now ascending, out stretched to their goal
Reaching out with wonder, to Saviour of all souls

Hi Ros-

I love visiting you..(though I haven't for a spell)
I apologize for that Dear-

I like this..
but I TRULY do miss your work
on the days of yore-
Knights of the Round Table..and the like-

You can create far lovelier than this-
(you know that)
Don't relent-

Sincerely Yours- and with Much Affection-

Billy
