TREASURE SHIP

KeyWords: Parenting,

I can see her now smiling talking to me
Always polite, very courteously
She comes up to me and then shyly she asks
To go down and see him aboard the ship wreck
He wears a dark blue cap, rough uniform
Designed more for work or directing the men
I follow her down to the ship when it's late
And I tell her the time is up with her mate

Chorus:
Aye, it's a strange dream, I've had it before
There's this big wall from an old ancient fort
Out in the distance, high from the shore
There's this old ship wreck, I've seen it before

They all seem happy although they're confined
They understand and they don't seem to mind
Like they've been guarding this ship all these years
Till somebody finds it the duty is theirs

[Repeat Chorus]

The whole feeling was that if people just knew
What's on that ship they'd come rescue the crew
They wouldn't have to stay there anymore
And they'd be released from guarding her

[Repeat Chorus two times]
