Of Pearls & Perils

Try not to worry about it Son You know what the Captain said? He said "Every single one of us is safe on this ship" As we voyage I've a gift for you I'll lay these on your neck To steal a love that's true They're hoisted from great depths below With all my worth I've come to show I'm born to turn the tides and tame The old Earth Mother bound in chain With a hull so strong We will brush off ice and storms On the treacherous cold seas We will never freeze I've heard no man can steer us wrong Our ship will carry on This titan can't be breached These props will never seize Try as she might Oh no she can't retort Let's lay your worries all to rest Trust in me dear I know you best The hand of all creation Has become men of great nations Steady through each and every wave Us worldly lords have come of age With a hull so strong We will brush off ice and storms On the treacherous cold seas We will never freeze I've heard no man can steer us wrong Our ship will carry on This titan can't be breached These props will never seize Look me in the eye Girl don't you ask me why We list with cold wet feet? Why the deck's alive with bangs and screams? Sit with me, be relaxed Rest assured this is a lapse Don't listen, look or think You cannot know that we will sink With a hull so strong We will brush off ice and storms On the treacherous cold seas We will never freeze I've heard no man can steer us wrong Our ship will carry on This titan can't be breached These props will never seize
