Sail On, Sail Away

She knew what she wanted She gave it clear away Her eyes had told the story Of what her lips had to say I knew there was no escape And by the end of the day I would be in her possession But now I I can't get out I tried like hell to get away But escape I never could I tried my best to turn me back But there in front of me she stood Her enchantment I was under From her spell there's no way out So i'll kick n scream n beg n cry n shout Sail on sail away From the maid in the night From her grasp it was impossible To break away from her mind She approached me in stealth I stood there paralyzed As she crept in for the kill She never took me off her eyes I knew I couldn't run I knew I couldn't fight And I had my doubt So I kicked and screamed and Begged and cried and shout Sail on sail away From the maid in the night From her grasp it was impossible To break away from her mind Shes the devil in disguise Full of pleasures untrue Shes a demon sent to lead you astray But a sailor's heart has but one love in this life And for me that she'll always be Now 20 years of marriage I never did escape She dragged me to the alter With chains to my feet Her tongue was a dagger With a taste for me blood With my hands in the irons Come about Couldn't get out With her legs wrapped around me I could see she wanted more Hell nor heaven could not help me From what she had in store Her fingers clenching tighter For me there's no way out So I kick and scream and Beg and cry and shout Sail on sail away From the maid in the night From her grasp it was impossible To break away from her mind Shes the devil in disguise Full of pleasures that are untrue Shes a demon sent to lead you astray But a sailors heart has but one love in his life And for me that she'll always be Hold fast hoist the main sail Theres a banshee after me Shes a demon sent to lead me astray But a sailors heart has but one love in his life And for me that she'll always be
