lyrics

I met you in the starlight
On the shores of Caroline.
Standing 'neath the mossy oak
In the airy brine.
The wind it spoke,
The sand it danced,
I swear it was a dream.
You must have been the moon,
The ocean clamored to your feet.

You won't bat an eye,
We've met on stranger tides than these.

Salty stones 'bove buried bones
Surround the battery.
A ghostly crew,
Red, grey, and blue,
Who lost themselves at sea.
Time has wrought
Their battle fought
Some kind of victory.
But not a man within that band
Could have taken you from me.

You won't bat an eye,
We've met on stranger tides than these.

I heard you locked your heart away
Beneath the stormy sea.
With chests of gold and riches, oh,
No man's you'd ever be.
There you go,
Your ebb and flow,
Your waves surround my being.
And here I stand
With stone in hand
To drown within your sea.
